We have to offer new services, new functions and opportunities&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the Energy 2050 energy policy, Rudnick added that the goal for the year 2035 is that the average unavailability of electricity supply, without considering force majeure, &#8220;should not exceed 4 hours per year in any location in the country. By 2050, it is expected to be no more than 1 hour per year&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>For the professor, the objective of the modifications &#8220;is to provide a good service that is viable and sustainable, efficient and of high quality, economical, both for the industry and the population&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>For his part, the executive secretary of the National Energy Commission (CNE), Andr\u00e9s Romero, proposed &#8220;that distribution should not be an obstacle and should facilitate the installation of the intelligent system, where users are empowered and can be producers and consumers&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Challenges<\/strong><br \/>\nThe second panel dealt with energy and city development, where the president of the National Urban Development Council, Luis Eduardo Bresciani, also spoke about the challenges from the urban point of view for the distribution industry:<br \/>\n&#8211;<strong>Secure<\/strong> supply<strong>and energy efficiency<\/strong>: these are the forms of supply and the ability to optimize consumption, mainly in companies and households. Especially in the generation of standards. Today the national urban development council is discussing the generation of standards.<\/p>\n<p>-Decentralization of<strong>energy production and distribution<\/strong>: &#8220;We must gradually generate opportunities for decentralizing urban programs, based on renewable energy sources&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>-Decarbonization<strong>of energy and transportation<\/strong>: &#8220;It is necessary to mitigate the impacts of climate change generated by CO2 emissions. Priority should be given to public and motorized transport, since the replacement of buildings is much slower&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<strong>Integrated urban<\/strong> planning<strong>for efficiency and better management<\/strong>: &#8220;making plans that integrate urban energy cost assessment, transportation management, better building regulation and financing to improve distribution infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<strong>Citizen<\/strong> participation<strong>and information<\/strong>: &#8220;a more participatory service should be provided to users. There must be an open use of databases to collect, organize and manage information on consumption and compliance with goals&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Director Systep assured that new agents and operators will appear in the distribution system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":4703,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5261","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-noticias-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/systep.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5261","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/systep.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/systep.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/systep.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/systep.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5261"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/systep.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5261\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/systep.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4703"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/systep.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5261"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/systep.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5261"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/systep.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5261"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
