Abstract
With deregulation and the privatization processes in progress, there were high expectations that the private sector would invest in generation and transmission, but this did not occur. The shortage of generation was exacerbated by drought conditions that deteriorated reservoir levels. These circumstances led to an increase of the risk of an energy shortage. Plans are now being implemented that take measures to assure a proper balance of generation and consumption in the near and long-term future.
