Abstract
There is a growing worldwide concern regarding emissions of energy-related
greenhouse gases (GHGs). Policy, technology and human awareness provide opportunities for
offsetting these effects through energy conservation, efficient appliances and solar generation in
households as these have been the subject of increasing attention across the world in recent years.
Solar rooftop generation, in particular, could deliver significant efficiency improvements and
reductions of CO2 emissions through its diffusion, which also avoids losses in electricity
transmission and distribution systems; energy efficiency contributes to the achievement of a
sustainable future because it reduces the energy-infrastructure needs, increases competitiveness
and improves consumer welfare; conservation would also reduce CO2 emissions in households.
The purpose of this paper is to assess the combined effect of the diffusion of solar rooftop
generation, energy efficiency and electricity conservation in the residential sector in Colombia.
Simulation results for different policy scenarios indicate that rooftop generation, energy efficiency and conservation can together lead, under certain conditions, to important reductions in
both electricity prices and emissions.
