Abstract

Eolic Energy has become one of the renewable energies with higher growth in the last decade. In Colombia, while the introduction of the eolic energy has faced some barriers, the Government is seeking to encourage the development of this energy source. This work uses a methodology intended to identify and evaluate zones with eolic potential in Colombia. Environmental, technical and financial criteria are set for the creation of assessed and restricted zone maps. The method Hierarchical Analysis Process (HAP) is implemented to calculate the relative significance for each evaluation criterion. To do so, opinions by experts in fields related eolic energy are considered. Finally, a feasibility index is proposed for the development of eolic energy in these zones. The proposed methodology is applied in La Guajira Province. The results show that there exists an important percentage of the province total area available for developing eolic energy projects.
