On Tuesday, July 15, the seminar 'Energy Agenda: A Major Task for Chile,' organized by the Chilean Renewable Energy Association (ACERA), was held in the SOFOFA auditorium. The event was attended by 200 participants and featured a high-level group of panelists and speakers, including Rodrigo Palma, director of SERC Chile.

With the purpose of creating a space to discuss and analyze the various concerns arising from the energy agenda outlined by the national government—whose lines of action and goals are based on 7 pillars involving technical, economic, social, and environmental aspects—the energy seminar organized by ACERA took place on Tuesday, July 15.

Questions regarding how the agenda will be developed, under what timeframes, and the effects of the established commitments on the future of the country gave way to engaging dialogues between the speakers, panelists, and moderators.

The seminar session was divided into two forums. The first, titled 'Regulation Panel,' aimed to contribute to the analysis of the legal, regulatory, and normative landscape of the agenda's implementation, as well as its effects. This session featured a presentation by Andrés Romero, executive secretary of the National Energy Commission, and Senator Jaime Orpis (CNE). The discussion panel was composed of the senator himself, along with Jorge Insunza, Vivianne Blanlot, and Clemente Pérez, while moderation was led by Hernán Moya, Head of the Legal Division of the Ministry of Energy.

After a break, the seminar continued with the 'Society, Academia, and Industry' forum, which aimed to broaden the discussion among representatives from various key industry sectors to share visions and analyses on the potential effects of the Energy Agenda on the country's development.

It was precisely in this setting that Rodrigo Palma, director of SERC, joined the panel, accompanied by other experts in the field such as Sara Larraín, director of Chile Verde; René Muga, executive vice president of Generadores de Chile AG; Rodrigo Castillo, executive director of Empresas Eléctricas AG; and Carlos Finat, executive director of ACERA.

The day concluded with reflections from Raúl Sohr, a prominent journalist, sociologist, and political analyst in the country.
