Resumen
Despite significant progress in energy technology, about two billion people worldwide, particularly the
poor in rural areas of developing countries, have no access to electricity. Decision-making concerning
the most appropriate energy technology for supplying these areas has been difficult; existing energy decision-support tools have been useful but are mostly incomplete. Trade-offs, as well as impacts that can be
positive or negative, may emerge as a result of implementing modern forms of energy. These can affect
both community’s livelihoods as well as the confidence of decision-makers in relation to alternative technologies. The paper discusses a newly designed multicriteria approach and its novel robustness analysis
for selecting energy generation systems for the improvement of livelihoods in rural areas. The proposed
methodology builds upon a sustainable rural livelihoods framework to address multiple interactions and
calculate trade-offs aimed at boosting decision-makers’ confidence in the selected technologies. The
methodology is tested via a case study in Colombia.
