The news from the CNE that embitters all Chileans as of this October 1 was confirmed

Starting October 1, Chileans will have to face news that will directly impact their pockets: the National Energy Commission (CNE) has confirmed that electricity bills will increase by 23%. This increase comes in a context of successive increases that began in previous months, with increases of 7% in June and 12% in July. The recent technical report published by the CNE details that this adjustment is imminent, which generates growing concern among citizens.

The origin of this increase in electricity rates is due, in large part, to an accumulated debt that was generated after the price freeze implemented in 2019. During that year, after the social outbreak, the government of former president Sebastián Piñera decided to avoid an abrupt increase in bills. of electricity, a measure that brought with it long-term economic consequences. With a debt exceeding $6 billion, the Chilean electricity system now faces the need to recover those costs.
