Chile’s Energy Ministry will initiate payments to thermal power generators with a first disbursement of 300 billion pesos in the coming days. This payment is part of a larger 1.5 trillion peso fund allocated to address a total debt of 2.34 trillion pesos owed to these generators. The announcement was made by the Consejo Gremial, a trade association representing the energy sector. This financial injection aims to alleviate the financial strain on thermal energy companies. The debt accumulation has been a significant concern within the Chilean energy industry. The move is expected to stabilize the sector and ensure continued energy supply. Further disbursements are anticipated following this initial payment.
