This course is divided in 6 modules
Module 1. Energies for the Transition.
This module provides an introduction to the key concepts of the energy transition at the global and national levels, addressing its trajectory and development. The characteristics and objectives of this process will be analyzed, with a special focus on the Colombian context. In addition, the relationship between the energy transition and the Sustainable Development Goals will be explored, as well as the main challenges faced by the energy communities on the road to a just energy transition in Colombia.
Energy Transition applied to everyday life (Case technological breakthrough in light bulbs).
Module 2. Transforming energies.
This module aims to provide communities with a fundamental understanding of available renewable energy technologies and their applicability in the Colombian Caribbean. It will explore the technical characteristics, benefits and challenges of various energy sources, such as solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, biomass and hydrogen, highlighting their potential to mitigate climate change, increase energy security and promote socioeconomic development in the region.
Cases of application of photovoltaic technology in the agricultural sector.
Module 3. Energy in legislation.
This module provides a legal overview of the Energy Transition in Colombia, with a focus on social justice and peace. It provides communities with a clear legal basis on the regulations governing the energy transition processes in the country, including the most recent laws and the legal mechanisms available for their participation and environmental protection.
Detailed energy bill analysis and interpretation for consumption optimization.
Module 4. Energy for people.
This module is designed to foster knowledge about energy communities, exploring their characteristics, history in Colombia, and their key role in the Just Energy Transition. In addition, different organizational forms and the legal framework that regulates them will be reviewed, with practical examples of their application in the region.
Governmental Strategies for the implementation of Energy Communities in Colombia.
Module 5. Impacting energies.
This module seeks to promote active participation and the construction of a shared vision for the democratization of energy in the Caribbean region. The concepts of good governance and social and political subject will be explored, highlighting the importance of multi-stakeholder collaboration and community participation in the Just Energy Transition. In addition, national and international case studies will be analyzed to strengthen the dialogue around energy governance.
Module 6. Energies for the future.
This module provides communities with the necessary tools to transform their ideas into concrete projects that contribute to the energy and social transformation of their territories. Participants will learn how to formulate project profiles, addressing key aspects such as context, justification, indicators and budget, culminating with the delivery and feedback of their proposals.
