Energy and telecommunications regulatory updates in South Am

Overview

In Mendoza, Argentina, the Ente Provincial Regulador Eléctrico (EPRE) has initiated a formal tariff revision process to determine electricity distribution service conditions for the period spanning August 2028 to July 2033. This review, conducted via Resolution 201, requires distributors to submit technical and financial documentation to evaluate how the system manages investments, service quality, and emerging technologies such as smart grids, energy storage, and electromobility.

Simultaneously in Chile, the Undersecretary of Telecommunications introduced guidelines for a new National Digital Plan. The initiative proposes updates to the General Telecommunications Law through seven pillars, including connectivity, cybersecurity, and innovation. Key goals include the decommissioning of 3G signals, the advancement of industrial 5G, and the streamlining of investment permits, with a specific focus on improving international connectivity and last-mile projects in extreme geographic areas.
