The USAID-NREL Partnership has published guidance for Colombia’s Commission of Energy and Gas Regulation that outlines recommendations for developing a roadmap to update Colombia’s distribution code for the integration of distributed energy resources (DER) with considerations for the design and development of new markets. The guidance document is titled Considerations for Developing a Regulatory Roadmap for DER Integration in Colombia.

Beyond support for DER integration, the USAID-NREL Partnership is also working with Colombia’s Providencia Island following the destruction of Hurricane Iota. Colombia’s Ministry of Mines and Energy started a working group with USAID, ECOPETROL, the United States Energy Association, NREL, the Scaling Up Renewable Energy program, and Colombia Inteligente to support Providencia’s plan to rebuild a more sustainable and resilient energy infrastructure. The working group conducted technical analyses and workshops, which led to power system capacity expansion analysis detailing costs and benefits of integrating renewable energy and energy storage onto the island as well as four white papers to guide the island’s sustainable energy transition.
