Leaders from the academy will meet in a talk on reliability and resilience of the National Electric System, organized by the Faculty of Engineering and Sciences, and the Faculty of Law of the Adolfo Ibáñez University. The meeting is in hybrid format, on Friday, March 7, at 9:00 am, at UAI Presidente Errázuriz headquarters, Las Condes. Free registration.

Claudio Seebach, dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Sciences at UAI and moderator of the activity, said: "Following the massive interruptions in the electricity supply that occurred in August 2024 and last Tuesday, February 25, it is relevant to ask whether the electricity regulation and the operation of its institutions and the tariff remuneration model are prepared to face the resilience challenges facing the national electricity system in a context of accelerated energy transition and accentuation of climate change."
