Summary

The Colombian Wholesale Energy Market faces increasingly frequent and disruptive threats, often categorized as high-impact, low-probability (HILP) events, which challenge the continuity of energy supply and the system’s economic sustainability. To address these risks, this study adapts the Transmission Resilience Maturity Model (TRMM), originally developed for electricity transmission systems, to assess the resilience maturity of the Colombian market.

The methodology involves qualitative analysis, adapting the TRMM domains and practices to the unique institutional, regulatory, and operational features of the wholesale electricity market.

The results underscore the need for periodic reassessment, diversification of stakeholder profiles, institutionalization through regulatory frameworks, and the adoption of targeted methodologies, including formal risk simulation models. The adapted TRMM provides a valuable framework for regulators, operators, and policymakers to identify gaps, prioritize investments, and strengthen the sector's ability to withstand HILP events, thus supporting a more resilient and mature electricity market.
