A workshop was developed to determine a roadmap for the implementation of smart grids in Colombia. More than 125 participants from different companies, universities, government, etc. took part of this process. According with previously established focus areas, workgroups voted two matrices: Pertinence and Relevance. The results were analyzed to construct an initial roadmap of the Colombian electrical sector in three phases. This road map is a key element to organize the efforts of the electrical sector towards a Smart Grid implementation. Among other possibilities the Carnegie Mellon University Smart Grid Maturity Model (SGMM) will be used to track the progress of the Smart Grids technologies implementation of the country and of participant utilities in this important program.
