Venezuela National Assembly Approves Grid Opening to Private Sector
What happened
The National Assembly approved a reform to the Organic Law of the Electrical System and Service in Venezuela. This new legislation allows power generation, transmission, distribution, and commercialization to be carried out by private and mixed-ownership companies with authorization, alongside the state-owned company, CORPOELEC. The reform ends the state monopoly over electricity established previously.
