Rechazan propuesta de 'democratización' de deuda en el sector eléctrico

TL;DR

  • Acce opposes the Ministry of Mines and Energy's proposal to charge electricity users for the debts of intervened companies.
  • The association argues the proposal is unconstitutional, as it constitutes a tax that should be approved by Congress.
  • Acce states the measure would disproportionately affect vulnerable households and businesses, violating principles of equity.
  • The proposed charge of $8 per kilowatt-hour is seen as a dangerous precedent that socializes corporate losses.
  • Acce suggests alternatives including debt restructuring, a government rescue fund, private investment, operational efficiency, and targeted subsidies.
  • The association calls for reconsideration of the proposal and collaboration on sustainable solutions for the electricity sector.
