    Impacto de las medidas preventivas del COVID-19 sobre la demanda de electricidad en Colombia
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2024-02) Quintero Gutiérrez, Laura Victoria; García Rendón, John; Gutiérrez Gómez, Alejandro; Universidad EAFIT; Escuela de Finanzas, Economía y Gobierno; Valor Público EAFIT
    Durante la pandemia del COVID-19 los confinamientos estrictos cambiaron las rutinas de la sociedad y afectaron las actividades de los sectores económicos en todo el mundo. Esto, a su vez, conllevó a una reconfiguración de la demanda de electricidad, haciendo que los sectores confinados disminuyeran su consumo; mientras que el sector residencial, el cual en su mayoría estuvo realizando sus actividades en teletrabajo, en promedio, presentó un aumento de este. El objetivo de esta investigación es determinar el impacto de las medidas preventivas adoptadas por el gobierno colombiano sobre la demanda de energía eléctrica de las principales actividades económicas.

    Los proyectos hidroeléctricos y su aporte la matriz de generación de energía en Colombia
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2023) Daza Vargas, Mario Andrés; Henao Arango, María Cecilia
    Energy has been present for many years with human beings and has been the foundation of development, not only economically but also for the well-being of the population on the planet. Today, as the world is facing the need to reduce the harmful effects that have loomed over the environment throughout the years due to industrial and economic development supported by the use of non-renewable resources such as conventional fossil energy sources like oil, natural gas, and coal, it is necessary to further the process of an environmentally and socially sustainable energy transition that is also reliable, based on conventional and unconventional renewable energy sources, which allow for a significant decrease in carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions. Based on the above, this present thesis argues that while an energy transition process based on unconventional renewable energy sources is required, we cannot overlook the need to enhance the utilization of the most important renewable energy source that has been available for many years, which is the generation of energy from conventional hydroelectric power plants. These plants account for 17% of the world's total energy generation and 45% of the global renewable energy generation capacity, and for Colombia, they represent over 60% of the energy matrix.
