'El cobro de $8 por kilovatio no resuelve la crisis de Air-e', dice vocero de los dueños de la empresa

TL;DR

Air-e was intervened by the National Government in September 2024, leading to a decline in its indicators.
The intervention is linked to corruption, mismanagement, increased bureaucracy, and conflicts of interest.
A temporary charge of $8 per kilovatio hour is insufficient to resolve the company's fundamental crisis.
Air-e is paying the highest price per kilovatio hour in Colombia for energy generation.
Before the intervention, Air-e had a positive Ebitda and improved service quality, but faced issues with exorbitant generation prices and delayed government payments exceeding 1.6 trillion pesos.
Generators did not reduce prices for vulnerable consumers in the Caribbean, contributing to the crisis.
Proposed solutions include fair generation prices, timely government debt payments, and competent administration.
The possibility of liquidating Air-e and transferring operations to Gecelca is discouraged due to potential evidence destruction and Gecelca's lack of distribution/commercialization experience.
The Creg is criticized for its omission in regulating the market, allowing oligopolistic practices and price abuses.
A key pending measure is limiting energy sales in the spot market to 5% to prevent abuses of dominant positions.
