Chile electricity subsidy implementation

Overview

Chile has implemented the fifth call for its Electricity Subsidy, a social program under the ‘Ordenemos La Cuenta’ law intended to reduce energy costs for vulnerable populations. A total of 1,926,830 households nationwide are set to receive the benefit during the second half of 2026, distributed in six monthly installments.

Demographic data indicates that the subsidy primarily supports households led by women (69%), those including elderly adults (52%), and those with children or caregivers (66%). Regional coverage is significant, with notable beneficiary numbers in the O’Higgins, Maule, Valparaíso, and Los Ríos regions.

Administrative procedures have been established for recipients, including a September 2 deadline to modify associated customer numbers. While most beneficiaries must verify results through official portals like ChileAtiende, households with electro-dependent individuals receive automatic updates via the Registry of Electro-dependent Persons. The subsidy installments for the second semester are scheduled to begin in September.
