Resumen
2016 Tax Reform established a carbon tax on fossil fuels derived from oil and natural gas used in the petrochemical and refining industry. This paper analyzes the impacts of the implementation of the liquid fuels carbon tax in the Colombian electricity market, and the impacts that would result from the implementation of carbon taxes on all fuels used in power generation. The analysis described above is developed through a replica model of the national electricity dispatch that considers different levels of tax for the period 2007-2016. The model illustrates the changes that would occur in the level of the spot prices of the energy market, carbon emissions, participation of different generation technologies and their inframarginal income.
