Recent lower supply from hydroelectric plants increased reliance on expensive thermal power sources, primarily during non-solar hours. As a result, average spot prices paid at the withdrawal nodes in Chile''s central region are higher than at injection nodes in the north, where renewable energy is generated.
View moreAs one of the early adopters of electricity sector reforms, Chile’s electricity generation, transmission and distribution sectors are completely owned by private companies with the government retaining only a surveillance role and regulatory powers, especially over the determination of certain tariffs.
The bill includes ‘congestion rent’, which aims to insure generators against short- and long-term issues like the eviction of regulated contracts and market concentration. In 2023, Chile also enacted a new Law 21505 to promote energy storage and electromobility.
All these are coordinated by Coordinador Eléctrico Nacional (CEN). As of November 2023, Chile had a total transmission line length of 31,284 km at the 110 kV to 500 kV voltage levels. Of the total installed capacity, 60 per cent of the line length was at the 220 kV level, 15 per cent was at 500 kV, and the rest was at low voltage levels.
