The Chilean Electricity Law introduced an obligation to power traders, from 2010 to 2014, to certify that at least 5% of the electricity traded comes from renewable sources. From 2015 onwards, the obligation will increase by 0.5% annually until 10% in 2024. Several challenges need to be addressed to permit efficient access for renewable energies. One of these is the natural barrier to entry for new...
Electricity transmission planning does not have a common solution worldwide, with most countries trusting on alternatives adapted to the local energy markets' regulatory regime. The fast-growing conditions of the Chilean energy market, driven by private agents, meant the need to introduce changes to the original 1982 regulatory framework, being transmission pricing and investment among the main issues...
Chile has had a successful experience of over 20 years of applying benchmark price regulation to its distribution companies. The same can not be said on implementing open access to the distribution networks, given the vertical integration of the wire business and the retail activity. This summary discusses barriers of entries to third parties that want to compete with the distribution companies and...
A growing challenge in the restructuring of the electrical sector, where competition is introduced in the generation area, is to achieve equivalent efficiencies in the electrical distribution service, an activity that develops in a monopolistic environment. Chile has had an experience of over 20 years of applying benchmark price regulation to its distribution companies. This summary discusses the...
In order to regulate the electrical power distribution stage, most of these countries have adopted price cap regulations, using concepts such as the "model/standard utility" or benchmarking schemes (i.e. efficiency frontiers). The "standard utility model" corresponds to a company whose investments are economically adapted to demand and operates under an optimal plan. In setting...
The paper reviews solutions being explored to face the supply problems faced in the Chilean electricity market oven recent years, given unexpected restrictions in natural gas transfers from Argentina. Investment in generation came to a stall, given uncertainties in natural gas supply and the risk to contract with distributors at regulated prices. A change of law was introduced, incorporating market...
The need to determine adequate regulations in the transmission activity in deregulated environments does not have a common solution worldwide, with most countries compromising on alternatives that are adapted to local market conditions. Relevant issues are transmission tariff schemes and transmission expansion methods, both intimately linked. The Chilean 1982 regulation defines a user based tariff...
