Plan published

This Plan replaces previous versions of the plan. The Ministry of Energy and Mines is the body responsible for the Indicative Planning of the country’s Electric Sector, which aims to guide the optimal use and development of energy resources, taking into account the environment.
In any power electrical system, when non-dispatchable renewable generation (wind, solar, run-of-river hydroelectric, biomass, and geothermal) is introduced, it is necessary to deeply analyse its behaviour in the operation of the system. Additionally, the expansion and reinforcement of the transmission and distribution network must be carried out to transport the energy produced to the consumption centers. For this, there must be indicative plans for medium- and long-term expansion for both segments. Indicative Expansion Plan for Generation 2021-2035: The generation plan obtained implies the addition of 962 MW during the study period. Of this additional capacity, 100 MW will be for solar photovoltaics, 207 MW for wind, 25 MW for geothermal, and 330 MW for hydroelectric projects, in addition to 300 MW from natural gas.

An aim to achieve a quantifiable outcome within a given time-frame, set by an institution such as a national government.

Policy instruments are techniques or tools used by governing authorities to promote certain policies in order to achieve predetermined goals. Put simply, instruments are how a government tries to achieve its goals, with this taxonomy being focused on national policy instruments.

Risk is the potential for adverse consequences resulting from the dynamic interplay between (climate-related) hazards, exposure, and vulnerability of affected human or ecological systems.

Groups  of people who are adversely affected by climate change or the response to it

A set of principles, processes, and practices that build economic and political power to shift from an extractive economy to a regenerative economy.

Renewable energy means all forms of energy produced from renewable sources in a sustainable manner.

Fossil fuel is a generic term for non-renewable energy sources such as coal, fossil gas, and oil (including crude oil, and petroleum products), that can be used for electricity and heat generation. Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons formed from pressurised and heated organic material buried over millions of years.

Molecules in the atmosphere that play a key role in the greenhouse effect by trapping heat radiating from Earth’s surface.

Area of the economy in which actors engage in identical or related activities.

In human systems, the process of adjustment to actual or expected climate change and its effects, in order to moderate harm, increase resilience or exploit beneficial opportunities. In natural systems, the process of adjustment to actual climate change and its effects; human intervention may facilitate adjustment to expected climate change and its effects.

The management and allocation of funds, assets and investments to meet various objectives

This sector involves the wholesale and retail selling of goods.

Electrical energy generated from mechanical devices driven by flowing fresh water.

Either money or something of monetary value is transferred between two or more organisations, people or countries.

Production of electricity and heat from solar irradiation.

Activities that involve planning, designing and building infrastructure, residential, and commercial structures.

Kinetic energy of airflow transformed into useful energy, mostly electrical energy.

This sector includes firms and individuals offering specialised expertise in fields such as law, accounting, consulting, science and engineering.

The activities of industries involved in the production, distribution, and sale of energy, including electricity, gas, and renewables.

Actions or measures to adapt freshwater, coastal and marine systems to climate change.

Oil is a combustible liquid fossil fuel composed mainly of hydrocarbons, occurring as crude oil and refined into petroleum products such as petrol, diesel and kerosene.

Actions or measures to adapt freshwater systems to climate change.

Electricity generation from devices driven by the movement of salt water, differences in saltwater temperatures, or salinity gradients.

Heat extracted from the ground, usually in the form of hot water or steam and typically referred to as hydrothermal fluid.

A financial institution that manages a country's currency and can promote climate-related initiatives through green monetary policy and other means.

Fossil gas, commonly known as natural gas, is a fossil fuel consisting chiefly of methane with smaller amounts of other hydrocarbons and trace gases, found in underground deposits.
