Chile - Energy EfficiencyChile - Energy Efficiency
Overview
The Energy Management Program is a Chilean Ministry of Energy initiative to encourage proper energy usage in public buildings, contributing to efficient use of resources and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
The 2018-2022 Energy Path lays out the goals of the Chilean Ministry of Energy in the upcoming years. It is based off President Piñera’s agenda, regional workshops, input from various agents in the sector, and the framework of the 2050 Energy Policy. It includes seven main focuses to reach its energy sustainability goals: modernization of energy, energy certification, energy development, lower energy emissions, efficient transportation, energy efficiency, and energy education/training.
The Chilean Agency of Energy Efficiency (ACEE, in Spanish), a private non-profit organization, reports that 197 electric vehicles were sold in Chile in 2018, a modest increase from the 140 sold in 2017. ACEE is a leader in Chile’s adoption of energy efficiency in Chile and is working to promote, strengthen, and consolidate efficient energy usage by coordinating national and international stakeholders and implementing public and private initiatives.
Many green products are already available in the Chilean market; however, identifying their statistics is a challenge because many energy-efficient products are imported under the HS Codes for “regular,” non-energy efficient products.
Opportunities
Local Chilean engineering companies provide consulting services and develop projects and solutions to advance energy efficiency in Chile. There is interest among these companies in partnering with U.S. energy service companies (ESCOs) that have extensive design and implementation experience in integrating efficiency.
