Chile’s Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Market: Opportunities for U.S. Exporters supply chain – from manufacturers to services providers in almost every subsector – should find considerable export opportunities, particularly in the medium-to-long-term, as much of the new capacity installations are expected to utilize renewable energy resources. Market Overview Chile began privitizing its electricity sector 30 years ago and the effort is now complete. Today, competition between firms drives the generation and sale of electricity across the country, as well as prices paid by Chilean energy consumers. Since privatization efforts began, Chile has quadrupled its installed capacity,4 which in 2011 reached 16,970 MW.5 Market Structure Chile’s electricity infrastructure is divided into four separate transmission grids, each one providing power to a specific geographic location. • The Central Interconnected System (SIC) provides power to the vast majority of Chile’s citizens, including the capital city of Santiago. In 2011, the SIC generated 73.9% of Chile’s energy, producing 46,095 GWh, an increase of 6.8% over 2010.6 • The Norte Grande Interconnected System,(SING) provides electricity to Chile’s largest energy consumer – the mining industry – is located in the North of the country. In 2011, the SING, produced over one-fourth of the country’s electricity, generating 15,872 GWh of electricity – up 5.2% from the previous year.7 • A combination of two electricity systems provides electricity to Chile’s sparsely populated southern districts in Aysen and Magallanes. Together these grids only accounted for 0.8% of the nation’s electricity production.8 While southern Chile produces very little electricity, it is the location of many high-potential renewable energy sites, particularly for hydropower and wind development. In fact, future RE&EE deployment may depend in part on 4 Government of Chile, “National Energy Strategy 2012-2030: Energy for the Future,” pp. 32 (February 2012) 5 Presentation by Chilean Embassy in Washington, DC entitled “Energy Policy in Chile” (received in person on 19 December 2012) 6 Ibid 7 Ibid 8 Ibid the southern grid’s ability to handle an influx of renewable power. Creation of New Regulatory Bodies and Organizations Chile’s energy industry has been regulated by the National Energy Commission (CNE) since 2008. The CNE is charged with proposing policies and strategies to support the energy market, regulating electricity tariffs, developing and implementing technology standards, and supervising electricity dispatch and operational criteria. The CNE may determine the development of specific electricity projects, such as transmission projects, that are not being pursued by the private sector. The financing of these projects is done through a standard bidding process in which private companies are free to participate. In addition to the CNE, Chile’s recently announced National Energy Strategy: 2012-2030 (National Energy Strategy) called for the establishment of Independent Operation Centers (IOCs) to organize and operate the country’s electricity system with increased autonomy. The National Energy Strategy calls for the new institutions to provide transparent information on the electricity market as well as additional supervision of energy practices.9 The IOCs would play the role of regional operators, replacing the existing Economic Load Dispatch Centers. They would operate alongside the supervisory role of the CNE under an autonomous management structure, acting as independent legal entities with assets of their own. The IOCs would be responsible for planning transmission systems, contributing to the development of Chile transmission infrastructure, and finally securing the current and future electricity system. Key Players The Chilean energy industry can be broken into three categories: production, transmission, and distribution. These markets operate separately with intense competition often acting as the driver of decision-making. The electricity production market involves several participants and competing technologies. The market is widely considered flexible and open, with most energy projects operating under the traditional independent power producer model. Since 2008, generators of electricity can 9 Government of Chile, “National Energy Strategy 2012-2030: Energy for the Future,” pp. 33 (February 2012) Manufacturing and Services — Market Intelligence 2
