Highlights
- Chile targets a share of 80% of renewables in the power mix in 2030 and zero-emissions in 2050.
- Around 40% of the coal capacity will be closed by 2025, with a total phase-out in 2040.
- Enel is the largest power company, with around 30% of power generation and half of the distribution in 2022.
- Around 9 GW of solar and wind were commissioned between 2019 and 2023.
- The share of renewables in the power mix has increased rapidly since 2019 (+15 points), reaching 58% in 2023.
- Electricity prices are the highest in South America, ahead of Brazil and Peru.
- Total energy consumption decreased by 5% in 2023 after a 3% progression in 2022.
- Industry absorbs almost 60% the electricity consumption.
- Around 9 GW of wind and solar projects are under construction.
Institutions & Energy Policy
The Ministry of Energy is responsible for energy policy and planning.
The Environment Ministry is in charge of climate change.
Energy Companies
Oil:
ENAP, Empresa Nacional del Petroleo, is a public holding involved in all the sector's activities through its subsidiaries: ENAP Magallanes for oil exploration and production; ENAP Refinerías for oil refining and storage; Sipetrol for the activities abroad (Argentina, Ecuador, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Iran, and Egypt); and Petro Servicio Corp. for oil engineering and related services.
Energy Supply
Oil:
Oil production is negligible (0.4 Mt in 2023). Imports consisted of 8.9 Mt of crude oil and 7.7 Mt of oil products in 2023.
The Arica pipeline makes oil trades possible with Bolivia. Through an agreement signed in 1992, Chile authorized the bidirectional use of the pipeline and the storage of oil, rendering facilities suitable for both exportation and importation.
Energy Prices
Oil:
Oil prices have increased strongly since 2020, reaching US$1.6/l for gasoline (+60%) and US$1.3/l for diesel (+90%), although international prices decreased in 2023 (-17%). Previous trends were in line with international prices: significant decline between 2013 and 2016, a rebound until 2018, then decline again until 2020.

Energy Consumption
Energy consumption per capita is around 2 toe. The country's electricity consumption per capita is around 4 MWh (3rd in South America).
Issues & Prospects
Chile's Energy Roadmap for 2050 targets a zero-emission power mix (mainly solar and wind) and a shift from private to public transportation which, according to the plan, should be low or non-carbon-emitting by 2050. New environmental standards, the promotion of energy efficiency and the eradication of energy poverty are also considered in the roadmap.
