The law also establish the obligation of the main energy providers to facilitate such injection, ensuring free access to the grid,

The Regime creates a new electric market agent: the "user-generator," which is the user of the energy distribution public service that installs the necessary equipment to generate renewable energy for self?consumption, and injects the excess in the public grid. This law repeals article 5 of law 25019 and replaces it by article 14 of law 26190.
