Assessing the impact of energization in the Colombian Southwest: a case of application using SD

摘要

This paper focuses on the problem of rural energization in isolated regions of Colombia (Not interconnected zones - NIS). Using the Sustainable Livelihood approach we assess the situation of isolated communities before and after energization. Systems dynamics is used for simulating and evaluating energy policies. We apply our approach to the municipality of Jambalo in the Cauca Department, Colombia.
