“…Since 2006 it has been pointed out the deficiencies in the regulation and the lack of adequate tariffs (Ruiz and Rodríguez-Padilla, 2006), a situation that still is maintained (Edsand, 2017;Román et al, 2018). There is uncertainty regarding the implementation of non-conventional renewable sources because the lack of regulations for the rate of adoption, prices, and problems of security of supply in the Colombian energy market (Jimenez et al, 2016). The lack of a methodology and rules to calculate the contribution of wind and other energy sources limited the estimation of reliability payments in energy auctions (Botero B et al, 2010).…”

Title: Renewables energies in Colombia and the opportunity for the offshore wind technology. Some comments that still need a modification are given as follows.R/ Thank you for your comments. Enclosed we will answer each one of them. Please avoid abbreviation in Abstract. R/ We removed abbreviations in the abstract as follows:"Global offshore wind technology shows increasing progress evidenced in the recent reports of wind power capacity, expectations of market expansion and international research projects. Colombia is privileged with several types of natural resources (e.g. wind, sun, water) but there is not a clear legal context to regulate sustainable and safe exploitation of the offshore wind energy considered nonconventional. The development of offshore wind technology in Colombia could attend the energy demand when the hydroelectric system presents low electricity generation during dry hydrological conditions and El Niño -South Oscillations events. This paper analyses international actions that have motivated different countries to establish strategies to reduce CO2, and their advances and challenges in implementing offshore wind technology. The review of the administrative framework of renewable energy in Colombia proved the lack of information for implementing offshore wind technology. Furthermore, the analysis of several studies of marine energies showed the need to increase the knowledge of offshore wind energy. The local applying projects to generate electricity from non-conventional renewable energies are not considering offshore wind energy projects. Hence, this research analyzed wind speed and calculated wind power density at different height levels, what evidenced magnitudes and positive trends what justify to increase the research in offshore wind energy in Colombia. As a result, the present document compiles technical, economic, administrative and legal information of the renewable energies in Colombia that may be used for taking decisions of different stakeholders and evidences the potential implementing offshore wind farms in areas near to the Colombian Caribbean coast. Colombia has great resources to implement offshore wind energy technologies, reducing the dependence on fossil fuels and substituting other systems when they cannot guarantee the energy offer."  A Literature Section needs to be included in the writing before RM section. You need to differ between literature analysis and your study analysis. In the LR section, you need to deeply analyse previous related studies and reveal the knowledge gaps and inconsistencies in the literature, then relate them to the objective of your study. The results analysis and discussion are presented after the methodology section.R/ Thank you for the suggestion. As we commented in the Revision #1, the methodology that we exposed for the manuscript (RM section), to be considered as a Review Article and also a Research article itself, is to describe the way how we collected and presented data in each section. Therefore, the manuscript is arranged accordin...

Summary The economic, social, and environmental aspects are important that should be notable before the selection of a method for the production of energy. Various renewable energy sources are used like hydropower, biomass, biofuel, geothermal energy, and wind energy for the production of sustainable energy that are excellent approaches to fulfill energy environmental energy demands. Renewable sources of energy give an excellent chance to extenuate the gas emission in greenhouse and reduction of global warming with the help of renewable sources of energy. The importance and utilization of the variety of renewable sources of energy are elaborated in this article. The emerging and exploring technique for the production of energy is the photocatalysis. In photocatalysis, solar spectrum is the extraneous source that is used with water to produce hydrogen energy (green energy) by the water splitting under the shower of the solar spectrum. The solar spectrum contains heat and intensity of light from which light spectrum is the abundantly used for the splitting of water. The photocatalyst is the key factor to initiate the reaction depending upon the energy band gap by absorbing the energy from the spectrum of the sun. Semiconducting materials having lower forbidden energy band gap are the basic requirements to use them as a photocatalyst for photocatalysis. Copper vanadate and their composites are the promising materials that are used as photocatalyst for the production of hydrogen energy. Copper vanadate is the focusing material that can be used as photocatalyst. It is an n‐type semiconducting material with 2 eV indirect energy band gap having monoclinic structural phase which is tuned by the doping of metals like chromium, molybdenum, and silver to reduce the grain size and energy band gap and increase the surface area and optical absorption of solar light only to enhance the photocatalytic performance towards the production of hydrogen energy by water splitting in the presence of solar light.

“…The different behavioral aspects give new meaning to the consumer's relationship with energy, which has implications mainly for the relationship between the consumer and the distribution system operators. Different perspectives approach this relation: Politics and regulation [22][23][24], demand and electrical networks [25][26][27][28][29], prices and markets [30][31][32], and impacts and diffusion [33][34][35][36]. It is noteworthy that the literature highlights the importance of consumer heterogeneity and the existence of behavioral factors that should not be ignored by the distribution system operators, especially concerning photovoltaic adoption.…”

The diffusion of photovoltaic distributed generation is relevant for addressing the political, economic, and environmental issues in the electricity sector. However, the proliferation of distributed generation brings new administrative and operational challenges for the sustainability of electric power utilities. Electricity distributors operate in economies of scale, and the high photovoltaic penetration means that these companies have economic and financial impacts, in addition to influencing the migration of other consumers. Thus, this paper aims to systematically identify and evaluate critical factors and indicators that may influence electricity distributors in predicting their consumers' adoption of photovoltaic technology, which were subjected to the analysis of 20 industry experts. Results show that the cost of electricity, generation capacity, and cost of the photovoltaic systems are the most relevant indicators, and it is possible to measure a considerable part of them using the internal data of the electricity distributors. The study contributes to the understanding of the critical factors for the forecast of the adoption of consumers to distributed photovoltaic generation, to assist the distribution network operators in the decision making, and the distribution sustainability. Also, it establishes the theoretical, political, and practical implications for the Brazilian scenario and developing countries.
