The majority of issuers hold Stable Outlooks at 65%, with 26% holding Negative Outlooks and 9% holding Positive Outlooks. This would indicate a downgrade/upgrade ratio of 3:1 in the next 12–24 months compared with a downgrade/upgrade ratio of 5:1 in 2018 for the sector. The average rating in Fitch Ratings’ portfolio, excluding Argentina, is ‘BBB–’ shifting toward ‘BB+’ as coverage of Argentine Country Ceiling (CCC) constrained issuers increased steadily since 2017. Stable Credit Metrics: Fitch expects Latin American electric corporates’ median gross leverage, as measured by total debt/EBITDA, will remain stable at approximately 4.0x in 2019, in line with the 4.1x median reported for 2017 and 2018. We estimate consolidated gross revenue in U.S. dollar terms for rated electric corporates will decline by 2.2% in 2019, after a modest increase of 0.7% in 2018. Consolidated EBITDA margins remained flat at 29% in 2018 when compared with 2017 margins. Aggregate capex, as a percentage of revenue, is expected to be inline by an average of approximately 14% in the next two years after slowing to 13% in 2018 down from 15% in 2017. Regulatory Risk: Latin American countries, on average, have a median regulatory score supportive of a ‘BBB’ rating. The highest overall score is held by Chile (A/Stable) followed by Peru (BBB+/Stable) and Colombia (BBB/Negative). Fitch has seen positive overall developments in improving transparency and a movement toward a more independent regulatory environment in countries such as Colombia and Peru. Argentina has the lowest overall regulatory score of ‘B’, representing a regulatory-based system where not-for-profit Compania Administradora del Mercado Mayorista Electrico or CAMMESA, which is subsidized by the government, is the sole off-taker of generation companies. Ripe for Investment: Fitch estimates aggregate installed capacity in Latin America will increase by 7% to 364GW in 2021 from 341GW in 2018. The largest growth in the region is from nonconventional renewable energy, defined as wind and solar, which is expected to reach 8% of total installed capacity by 2021, with the largest investment plans in Chile and Argentina. We believe more investment is needed, particularly in Argentina, where approximately 35% of installed capacity is inefficient, and in Chile, which laid out a clear plan to decarbonize its generation matrix. Brazil (BB–/Stable) remains a hotbed for renewable investment with renewables comprising 10% of total installed capacity and a pipeline of 2.3 GW currently under development. Heightened Political Risk: Fitch believes uncertain political environments continue to inhibit investment in some countries, particularly Argentina and Mexico (BBB/Stable). The primary presidential election results in Argentina sparked a negative market reaction stressing the Argentine peso and increasing the probability of regulatory reforms, which can have an adverse effect on issuers. In Mexico, the current administration seems determined to preserve the government’s role in controlling the sector through CFE, dampening reform efforts toward a more competitive and reliable system. The shift in policy priority and the decision to cancel the clean energy auctions raised concerns regarding CFE’s ability to fund these projects at the pace required to maintain a balanced system with healthy reserve margins and lower prices.

Latin American Power Overview Latin American Power Overview 2 September 18, 2019 2 Corporates Compendium Power / Latin America Regulatory Risk Assessment Fitch has assessed the regulatory risk among countries scoring each market’s independence from the central government, timeliness of cost recovery, recourse of law, transparency of tariffs and balance between end users and companies assigning a score consistent with our ratings scale from ‘A’ (highest) to ‘CCC’ (lowest). The median score was ‘BBB’ with each variable comfortably in the ‘BBB’ category except independence from the central government with a median score of ‘BB’. Government intervention remains a key theme limiting most markets. This is particularly the case in Argentina and Mexico where the government is actively involved and subsidies to the system make off-takers highly dependent on the government. In Mexico, Fitch views the regulatory framework as highly dependent on the central government, which maintains the planning and control of the electric system and the provision of all power activities as an indispensable public service. We consider Argentina’s regulatory risk the highest among rated peers. The country has the lowest overall regulatory score given the high level of government intervention and a history of government delays in payments and implementing social programs designed to benefit end users. Chile has the highest overall score with ‘BBB’ remaining the archetype which other countries have referred to when developing more competitive and independent regulatory systems. Chile stands out with an ‘A’ score in both balance between end users and companies and timeliness of cost recovery, when compared with Argentina, which has a ‘CCC’ score in independence from the central government.

  • Perspectives on Solar Energy, Mining and Agro-Food in Chile
    Chapter 3 Transforming industries: Perspectives on solar energy, mining and agro-food in Chile The shifting global geopolitical and technological landscape coupled with changes in consumers’ preferences is opening up a window of opportunity for Chile. The country could transform its economy, enlarge its knowledge base and increase productivity by leveraging on its natural assets in new, more innovative ways. However, the world is moving fast and opportunities will not be permanently available. To tap into them, a strategic approach and a shared vision between government, business and society is needed. Chile has started to do so through strategic initiatives that identify future opportunities and clarify gaps to be addressed. This chapter presents the Chilean experience in solar energy, mining and agro-food; in each case it presents a snapshot of key trends and future scenarios, developed through multi-stakeholder consultations, it describes the current policy approach and it identifies reforms to move forward.

We then compare the estimated WTP to the real costs of generating electricity with different currently available technologies for renewable sources of energy. Overall, we find that the WTP of Chilean citizens would be more than enough to pay for greener sources of energy. We also find that the WTP is affected by age and gender of the respondents, but surprisingly not by income. © 2016 The Authors.

  • Colbún and the Future of Chile's Power
    9-713-047 REV: APRIL 16, 2013 FOREST L. REINHARDT SHON R. HIATT Colbún and the Future of Chile’s Power In August 2012, four months after scoring a major victory in the Chilean courts, Bernardo Larraín Matte, the 46-year-old former CEO and recently appointed Chairman of Colbún S.A., gazed out of his office window, thinking about the challenges facing his firm in light of Chile’s growing energy demand, the worldwide volatility in oil and natural gas prices, and the company’s recent decision to put its largest generation project on hold. As the second-largest generator in the country, Colbún had an installed capacity of 2,970 megawatts (MW), accounting for 20% of the central electricity grid (Sistema Interconectado Central, or SIC) that served 90% of the Chilean population. With between 40% and 70% of Colbún’s electricity coming from hydropower (depending on meteorological conditions), and the rest from fossil fuels (gas, diesel and coal),1 the company faced a challenging future. Six years earlier, Chile’s primary supplier of natural gas, Argentina, had created a serious shortage by restricting gas exports and increasing taxes on them. Compounding the problem, in 2007, Chile experienced a severe drought that limited hydroelectric generation. As a result, Colbún had to boost its production from thermal power plants. Given the scarcity of gas, the company resorted to diesel. However, the global rise of oil prices caused a strain on the company’s finances. A record positive net income of $275 million in 2006 had turned into a net loss of $88 million in 2007, and earnings since had been volatile.
