Formulación de lineamientos para proyectos de energía eólica en la Costa Norte de Colombia: enfoque basado en el método del marco lógico

Abstract

This thesis was developed in response to the decline in hydroelectric capacity and the growing dependence on non-renewable sources in Colombia, highlighting the untapped wind energy potential along the North Coast. The research aims to establish comprehensive guidelines that steer the implementation of wind energy projects by integrating technical, financial, legal, and socio-environmental aspects through the use of the logical framework methodology. Throughout the study, climatological data are analyzed to identify high-potential areas, economic schemes are evaluated via cost-benefit studies, and current regulations are reviewed, thereby enabling the formulation of a coherent set of guidelines that ensure the sustainability and efficiency of these initiatives. The proposal results in the identification of strategies that not only optimize the harnessing of wind resources but also promote regional development and facilitate the transition towards a more sustainable energy model, benefiting both the productive sector and local communities.
