ELECTRIC TRANSMISSION LAW: A KEY REGULATION FOR THE NCRE SECTOR<br />
One of the most eagerly awaited laws for the NCRE sector was enacted in July: the Electric Transmission Law. The<br />
regulation, sponsored by the Ministry of Energy and supported from the beginning by <strong>ACERA</strong>, establishes a new<br />
Transmission System and creates a coordinating entity independent from the National Electric System. It is based on<br />
international practices and experiences seeking to improve the system’s planning, expansion, rating and operation, and<br />
delivering, at the same time, a greater responsibility to the State as guarantor of the common good. As noted by Carlos<br />
Finat, Executive Director of <strong>ACERA</strong>, “We have been waiting for this regulation for a long time. First, because the timely<br />
expansion of the system will provide a better energy distribution, allowing the arrival of the clean energy generated<br />
mainly in the northern extreme of the country, to different zones in Chile. On the other hand, we believe that the creation<br />
of the new national operator is very important to ensure the transparency, independence and technical suitability of<br />
future challenges imposed by the electric system operation.
