Chile's Economy and Energy Biminister Álvaro García announced that Transelec has agreed to refund US$ 135 million overcharged in electricity bills starting in January. This deal adds to the US$ 115 million that generators must return due to calculation errors dating back to 2017. The crisis, which led to Energy Minister Diego Pardow's resignation, highlights failures in government management and the electricity sector.
A new report from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy argues that greater energy efficiency and load shifting can address rising U.S. electricity needs without extensive new power plants. These demand-side measures could cut costs in half and reduce emissions. Utilities and governments are urged to prioritize such strategies amid surging demand.
