| Abstract | Chile is a leader of the privatization movement in South America. In 1986, to meet the growing demand for energy, Chile began restructuring of the state-owned power sector. Before selling the electricity companies, the state unbundled them into generation and transmission companies and distribution utilities. The distribution utilities were divided according to the service areas, but no exclusive rights were granted. The National Energy Commission (CNE) was created as the main policymaking and regulatory body. A new electricity law established free entry and competition in generation, a nonexclusive concession system for distribution and a pricing scheme based on marginal costs. |
