The General Directorate of Environmental Electricity Affairs (DGAAE) of the Ministry of Energy and Mines (Minem), held work meetings with authorities of various agencies and representatives of civil society, in order to carry out an exchange of ideas in relation to the application of the Regulation for Environmental Protection in electrical activities.

The general director of the DGAAE, Juan Cossio, explained that this type of meetings and information exchange, which extended for 3 days, are necessary because they will serve for the preliminary evaluation of public problems that will be a matter of regulatory analysis, identified in the early agenda 2025 of the MINEM, such as the processing related to environmental impact evaluations in electrical projects developed throughout the country.
During the meetings, developed at the Minem headquarters, the actors involved (civil society, holders of the electrical activity, consultants and public entities) had the opportunity to publicize their views regarding the preliminary vision of the problems identified by the authority, to provide suggestions on possible solutions or impacts.
