What is ARIAE?The beginnings (1)
1995 – 1998
In December 1995 first contacts between regulators, with some practical
experience, were established, such was the case of electric regulators Argentina, Chile,
Colombia and Spain.
I Meeting of Iberoamerican electricity regulators. Santiago de
Compostela, Spain (March 1997)Sharing experiences in: deregulating processes, companies privatizations, the introduction of
competition mechanisms, and functions and resources for regulators.
11 participants, electricity regulators of: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica,
Mexico, Peru, Portugal, Venezuela and Spain.
II Iberoamerican Meeting of electricity regulators. Cartagena de Indias,
Colombia (March 1998)With the participation of 13 countries. At this meeting came up the idea of creating a more formal
link, in order to include technical cooperation and the provision of a system to share information.
