The Systep Team is pleased to present the Monthly Report of the Chilean Electricity Sector for the month of August 2020.

This month’s editorial analyzes the Bill that seeks to accelerate the withdrawal of coal-fired power plants from the National Electric System. In our analysis of the effects associated with this initiative, we project a possible increase in the marginal costs of the system, which could lead to an increase in tariffs for regulated customers as a result of the possible renegotiation of contracts. Potential effects on generation, transmission, emissions, among others, are also discussed. The importance of progressive and transitory policies is emphasized, in order to avoid incurring unnecessary costs and risks in the decarbonization process.

In addition, the Report and electricity sector statistics are available for download in Excel format from our statistics web portal. Through this measure, we seek to facilitate the community’s access to information related to the electricity sector, for which we compile and organize the most relevant SEN data on a monthly basis:

Analysis of the operation of each interconnected system.
Systep 12-months spot price forecast.
Summary by companies.
Auction prices.
Non-Conventional Renewable Energies.
Regulatory monitoring.
Projects in Environmental Impact Assessment.

Its distribution is performed monthly.
