Power sector regulation under General Electricity Law 93-96
- Energy, water and telecommunications
- The power market and its tariffs
- not audited
The Ministry of Energy and Mines (MEM) sets policy and leads the sector; the National Electric Energy Commission (CNEE) regulates tariffs, standards and tenders; and the Wholesale Market Administrator (AMM), a private non-profit entity, operates the system and the market. Distribution to regulated users is in private hands: EEGSA and Energuate (DEOCSA + DEORSA). The legal framework is the General Electricity Act, Decree 93-96 of Congress (1996), and its implementing regulation (RLGE, 1997): generation and trading have been open to competition since 1996, while transmission and distribution are regulated activities awarded by public tender.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
