National Energy Policy 2050 (2nd edition)

This long-term energy policy proposes a vision of Chile’s energy sector by the year 2050 as being reliable, inclusive, competitive and sustainable. It is sustained by four pillars: Security and Quality Supply, Energy as a Driver for Development Environmentally-friendly Energy, Energy Efficiency and Education. The proposed measures and action plans shall be developed on the basis of these pillars between 2016 and the year 2050. This Policy outlined targets including renewable power generation share targets of 60% by 2035 and 70% by 2050. The Policy was developed through the Participatory Process for Energy Policy (Proceso Participativo de la Política Energética), which sought to promote an open process and a multisectoral effort that would articulate a shared vision for the future development of the energy sector.
