Incentives for Renewable Energies in Colombia

This work analyses the potential effects of the incentives for renewable energies approved in Colombia by two main acts. A methodology involving adjustments for tax reductions and accelerated depreciation is used to evaluate the Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) for the four main clean energy resources available in Colombia. The results show important reductions in the LCOE specially, under the act approved in the development plan of the new government, where the LCOE of three technologies is below the grid parity.
