Get a quoteEnergy policy in Colombia is defined by the National Energy Plan (PEN) 2020–2050, which includes solar and wind in its diferent scenarios, including for both grid-connected and unconnected areas. Electricity planning is outlined by the 15-year Generation and Transmission Expansion Plans, which are updated yearly.
ranging from 3700 to 4578 MW of wind power and 1963 to 4662 MW of solar power. The 2019–2023 Electric Coverage Expansion Plan estimates that the investments needed to achieve universal access to electricity in Colombia include COP 3.2 trillion (about USD 665 million) in solar home systems.
Taking into account that Colombia is mostly a desert area, what was presented above confirms the deficit of photovoltaic development in the ZNIs, that underutilize the solar resource and the great territorial extension. 4. Future picture of the solar energy
The implementation of photovoltaic systems in Colombia has enabled 2% of the population in areas that do not have access to electric energy to meet their lighting, refrigeration and leisure needs, allowing them to expand their capacities and improve their quality of life. The systems that have been installed are mainly focused on the rural sector.
The expected large deployment of wind and solar resources in Colombia can be used to leverage creation of local employment, gender equality and benefits to local communities and Indigenous peoples. This will require strengthened policy frameworks to avoid negative efects on these areas.
The potential of solar energy at a global level in Colombia is 4.5 kW h/m 2 /day and the area with an optimal solar resource is the Península de la Guajira, with 6 kW h/m 2 /day of radiation, surpassing the world average of 3.9 kW h/m 2 /day. In the referenced link , there is an interactive map of the radiation indices in Colombia by IDEAM.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 350% in the past three years. Energy storage cabinets and lithium battery solutions now account for approximately 40% of all new commercial energy installations worldwide. North America leads with a 38% market share, driven by corporate sustainability goals and federal investment tax credits that reduce total system costs by 25-30%. Europe follows with a 32% market share, where standardized energy storage cabinet designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at a 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting commercial energy storage for peak shaving and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Modern industrial installations now feature integrated systems with 50kWh to multi-megawatt capacity at costs below $450/kWh for complete energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving energy storage cabinet and lithium battery performance while reducing costs for commercial applications. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 45% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 18+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $900/kW to $500/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow industrial systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing business savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services.
