In this sense, Serrano (2017b) carried out in Colombia an analysis of the use of solar energy for the future of the country as part of the general concern for the increase in the emission of polluting gases into the atmosphere and that it can boost energy supply through renewable sources.
The analyzes were based on the report generated in 2015 by the Mining and Energy Planning Unit (UPME) of Colombia, where it was projected that by 2028 about 13.75% of the 3275 MW that is installed should correspond to energy sources solar.
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
Colombia has world-class wind and solar energy potential and recent regulatory updates have enacted a robust framework of incentives. However, as of 2022, solar and wind have an operating installed capacity of just about 1.5% of the capacity mix. The next five years could see a sharp increase in solar and wind capacity.
