Abstract The share of non-conventional renewable energies in Colombia represents less than 4% of electricity generation; the government aims to increase the net installed electricity generation capacity to over 10% by 2028. A structural analysis was carried out for decision-making: international experiences was used to identify Social, Environmental, Technical and Economic indicators and with the MICMAC method, the key variables were identified to define improvement strategies. This research determined the driver elements that will allow Colombia to effectively include biomass as an electrical energy source.
