For the use of solar and wind energy sources, spatial restrictions according to topography, natural parks, water reserves, indigenous and sacred reserves were taken into account.

Finally, areas with wind and solar potential were determined using the Geographic Information System for Renewable Energies (SIGER).

In terms of solar radiation, the departments of Guajira and Atlántico showed global solar radiation values of up to 6,015 W/m<sup>2</sup>.
