Abstract

This paper proposes a search and analysis of the most relevant criteria for choosing a type of primary energy resource, where technical, economic, socio-political and environmental aspects were established in order to consider all the information that allows choosing the best generation alternative for a non-interconnected area that guarantees sustainable development. With these aspects, the different barriers that renewable technologies have had to penetrate the Colombian electricity sector were identified and, based on these barriers, the criteria to be taken into account to implement a multi-criteria method to reduce subjectivity at the time of the election were established. Information was collected about the most used multicriteria methods for decision making in energy projects, where the ELECTRE, PROMETHEE, AHP, MAUT, TOPSIS and VIKOR methods were studied in order to choose the best one for decision making in this sector. In order to choose the method to be used, aspects such as complexity, background, level of subjectivity, application and flexibility of the methods were defined, resulting in the analytical hierarchical method (AHP) as one of the best options. Once the method was chosen, a validation was carried out based on a case study in the indigenous reservation Calle Santa Rosa, in Timbiquí (Cauca), where based on the established criteria and the implementation of the AHP multicriteria method, it was possible to identify that the best energy solution is photovoltaic solar energy followed by biomass energy.
