El gobierno Petro alista medida para que los usuarios de energía paguen de su bolsillo por el descalabro de Air-e

TL;DR

  • A proposed government resolution mandates an additional charge of $8 per kWh on electricity bills for all users.
  • This charge is intended to help cover Air-e's debt, which exceeds $2.5 trillion.
  • The measure is a temporary solution while the Energy and Gas Regulatory Commission (Creg) develops a long-term reliability scheme.
  • Critics argue that this unfairly transfers Air-e's debt burden to all electricity consumers.
  • Concerns are raised that this could affect the financial stability of up to 40% of the national demand if Air-e defaults.
  • The government acknowledges a significant crisis in the energy sector due to Air-e's financial situation.
