Through its Energy Utility Partnership Program Cooperative Agreement
with USAID, U.S. Energy Association (USEA) selected Tuatara Group to deliver a five-day DER preparation training course for mid- and senior-level personnel from key Colombian stakeholder organizations in Bogotá, Colombia with an emphasis on XM, the system operator. The objective of this course was to discuss the challenges, opportunities and potential path for successful integration of DER in Colombia.
