Chilean electricity distributor CGE has introduced new digital payment capabilities and is simultaneously conducting enforcement actions regarding unpaid debts.

In late September 2026, CGE integrated bank transfer payments into its digital channels through a partnership with Fintoc. This update, affecting approximately 3.4 million customers, allows for direct payments via the company website with immediate online confirmation, removing the requirement for manual receipt submission.

Concurrently, the company has taken measures to address significant arrears. In Talca, CGE disconnected 97 residential meters in the Villa Las Américas sector due to unpaid debts totaling more than 380 million pesos. The operation, supported by Carabineros and the PDI, also uncovered irregular connections and tampered meters used to evade consumption costs.
