We apply the Hamiltonian formulation of teleparallel theories of gravity in2+1 dimensions to a circularly symmetric geometry. We find a family ofone-parameter black hole solutions. The BTZ solution fixes the unique freeparameter of the theory. The resulting field equations coincide with theteleparallel equivalent of Einstein's three-dimensional equations. We calculatethe gravitational energy of the black holes by means of the simple expressionthat arises in the Hamiltonian formulation and conclude that the resultingvalue is identical to that calculated by means of the Brown-York method.Comment: 20 pages, Latex file, no figure
