Chile privatised its electricity sector in the 1980s, and all generation, transmission and distribution activity is now in private hands. The National Energy Commission (Comisión Nacional de Energía, CNE) is largely responsible for the state regulation of the power sector, along with the Ministry of Energy. The government agencies in charge of governing and regulating Chile's electricity sector include: The National Energy Commission (CNE), which is in charge of devising the long-term development strategy for the power sector and determining the tariffs for the market's regulated clients. As per a law implemented at the end of January 2015, power purchase agreements (PPAs) to supply electricity to Chilean distributors (the regulated market) are auctioned by the CNE rather than by the distributors themselves. This means that the government is now responsible for the results of the long-term energy auctions, while distributors have only an administrative role.
