Abstract

En Colombia, las tarifas de la energía eléctrica son reguladas por el Estado. En la provisión del servicio participan cuatro negocios independientes (generación, transmisión, distribución y comercialización), cuyas empresas enfrentan distintas condiciones de mercado. Las tarifas se fijan con base en el costo unitario, el cual se ajusta, en cierto grado, con los principales índices de precios de la economía. Este documento describe el mercado colombiano de la energía eléctrica, analiza el proceso de formación de las tarifas, caracteriza su comportamiento y cuantifica el impacto inflacionario de un choque a la tarifa, con el fin de que sirva de referencia para los pronósticos de inflación y la toma de decisiones de política. Se encuentra que durante la última década las tarifas registraron cambios mensuales asimétricos y que frente a un choque del 10% en este precio, la inflación anual aumenta en 0,78%.
