Latin American Countries Embrace Energy Transformation
Key Ideas
  • Brazil's Aneel establishes rules promoting distributed generation in federal housing programs, advancing energy infrastructure implementation.
  • Bolivia authorizes users to generate electricity from solar energy, aiming to promote Distributed Generation and renewable energies.
  • Chile and Colombia are working on regulatory updates to support higher penetration of distributed generation and hydrogen projects.
  • Paraguay strengthens penalties for electric power theft, particularly targeting crypto mining operations, to ensure fair energy distribution.
Latin American countries are making significant strides in transforming their energy landscapes by embracing new regulations and technologies. In Brazil, the electric power watchdog Aneel has approved rules to promote distributed generation within federal housing programs, aiming to enhance energy infrastructure implementation. Bolivia is empowering users to produce electricity through solar energy, aligning with the goal of promoting renewable energies and Distributed Generation. Chile is undergoing a regulatory review process to support higher penetration of distributed generation, focusing on areas like self-supply and incorporating new technologies. Colombia, on the other hand, is focusing on hydrogen projects, with a draft decree proposing the creation of a regulatory environment to promote fair energy transition. Additionally, Paraguay has promulgated an energy anti-theft law, with a specific focus on enforcing penalties for electric power theft, particularly in crypto mining operations. These developments showcase a collective effort in Latin America towards a more sustainable and efficient energy future.
