The Paris Climate Change Conference, developed within the framework of the United Nations Convention on Climate Change, emphasized the importance of establishing specific goals regarding the care and future of the environment, in addition to strategies that would allow for the execution of actions, to find a balance between climate and energy generation, being one of the most relevant problems in the current economic context worldwide. In this sense, this research aims to develop an analysis of the performance of energy generation projects with non-conventional sources carried out in Colombia, finding their relationship with the departmental competitiveness index and with the air quality indicator. The preliminary results of the analysis show a high dispersion between the different variables of the selected projects and, in turn, a strong relationship between the number of users benefited by the results of the studied projects and the CO2 emissions generated by their execution.
