Chile’s free competition defense tribunal (TDLC) has launched a special price regime review for distributed generation assets (PMGDs) that could lead to recommendation to replace the mechanism.
In a release, the tribunal stated several power generation players asked it to start the process. Among them are Besalco Energía Renovable, Hidromaule, Duqueco, Energía Coyanco, and Trans Antartic Energía.
The review would focus on potentially anti-competitive characteristics of the “stabilized price regime” published in 2006 and updated by the government in 2020. The regime aims to shield PMGD developers from sharp fluctuations in spot market pricing and was replaced by a time-block mechanism perceived to hurt solar generators by lowering prices during daytime.
