Potencial energético de la generación de la Región Central

Abstract

The description of the conceptual map in the conceptual map - structure of the Generation Chapter will analyze the electric generation process in two states: current panorama and projection and progress; an additional part: environmental impacts. In the current panorama, the installed power capacity and the implemented technologies of the generation resource will be described: solar, hydraulic, thermal, biomass; thermal generation also has 6 different generation methods and biomass has 3 methods. In the projection and progress section, the registered potential capacity of the projects that are being executed or will be executed is further described, in addition they are organized according to the technology implemented to take advantage of the generation resource in development: hydraulic, thermal, biomass, solar, PCH (Small Hydraulic Power Plants) and wind, taking into account that thermal generation has 9 classes and biomass generation, 7 classes. The progress of the projects is detailed grouped by the type of generation technology: phase 1, 2, 3 and in process. All of this has been identified at the national level, in the RAP-E region and in the subregions that comprise it: Cundinamarca, Boyacá, Tolima, Meta, and Bogotá D.C. The actors involved in the compilation of this information are identified: EMGESA, ISAGEN S.A, UPME and XM. Finally, the environmental impacts related to the most common generation technologies in the country and the region are considered: hydroelectric and thermoelectric plants.
