Abstract

Spanish Abstract: El establecimiento de la competencia en el mercado eléctrico de Colombia a través de las Leyes 1424 y 1435 de 1994, significó la separación de las actividades necesarias para la prestación del servicio, en: generación, transmisión, distribución y comercialización. Estas actividades están reguladas y controladas a través de la Comisión de Regulación de Energía y Gas - CREG y la Superintendencia de Servicios Públicos Domiciliarios -- SSPD, respectivamente, quienes fijan las condiciones, las normas y los controles a este sector de la economía colombiana.

English Abstract: The establishment of competition in the electricity markets in Colombia through the Laws 1424 and 1435 of 1994 meant the separation of the necessary activities to provide the service (generation, transmission, distribution and marketing).  These activities are regulated and controlled by the Regulatory Commission for Energy and Gas -- CREG and the Superintendence of Public Services SSPD, respectively, which set the conditions, prescript and controls sector.  The Electrical distribution, in particular, is one of the activities under the regulatory process in Colombia. Its action is justified by the effects on social welfare generated by the natural monopoly condition, supported by the existence of economies of scale, economies of scope, subadditivity of costs and barriers to entry.
