It possesses a Regional Transmission System (STR in Spanish) and it has high, medium and low-tension lines, substations, and equipment that operate tensions lower than 115 Kw.
Our corporation buys and sells electricity, and we carry on tasks such as consumption meter readings, billing, maintenance of tension lines, and generally everything related to meeting customer needs and satisfaction, promoting the development of the region and positioning ourselves like a viable and sustainable company in Guaviare.

Toll:
Is the charge applied to the users depending on their socioeconomic status or characterization (industrial, commercial, or low socioeconomic status 1, 2, and 3). In the case of lower socioeconomic status, their toll is obtained by subtracting a subsidy (defined by law) to the unit cost, this allows low-income users to pay their bills.
The Energy and Gas Regulatory Commission (CREG in Spanish) structured and modified the Unitary Cost of electricity service by the Resolution 119 of 2007, enforced from 2008. On CREG resolution 140 of 2021 are approved the necessary variables to calculate the incomes and charges associated to the distribution and commercialization activities of the Electric Energy Company of Guaviare Department SA ESP with the regulatory methodology on CREG resolution 015 of 2018.
This formula comprises the sum of the costs of each process and the phenomena incurred to take each kilowatt to the final user, as follows:
Where:
CU is the unit cost of each kilowatt. Is the sum of the activities previously described in the toll formula.
G is the cost of the generation or production of energy given by the contracts.
T and D: Represent the cost of the transportation process from the plants to its final user, discriminating from national level transportation (represented by the T letter) and regional and local transportation (represented by the D letter.
C is the variant cost of the commercialization process.
PR is the recognition of the efficient loss of energy. Three factors are summarized: the production cost, its transmission on national level, and the costs of reduction of losses plans.
R is the cost of restrictions. Is the result of maintaining continuity in the service when facing a failure in the transmission networks, since during this event it is necessary to turn on generators with higher costs of production than the regular ones used for normal service.
