==Electricity sector== (詳細はChile relies mainly on hydro-electric power generation (33% of installed capacity as of May, 2012),〔 oil (13%), gas (30%) and coal (20%).〔 Wind has a small but growing presence with 198 MW.〔 Faced with natural gas shortages that have the potential to jeopardize electricity supply, Chile is currently building its first LNG terminal to secure a supply for its existing and upcoming gas-fired thermal plants. In addition, it has engaged in the construction of several new hydropower and coal-fired thermal plants. Chile’s successful electricity sector reform, which served as a model for other countries, was carried out in the first half of the 1980s. Vertical and horizontal unbundling of generation, transmission and distribution and large scale privatization led to soaring private investment. However, in recent years, there has been a substantial modification of the 1982 Electricity Act, to bring it line with developments of the last 20 years in the sector. This was the result of a pressing need to change. The main companies involved, in terms of installed capacity, are the following:〔 * ENDESA (35%,6085 MW) * AES Gener (18%, 3157 MW) * Colbún S.A. (15%, 2621 MW) * Suez Energy Andino (12%, 2176 MW) * E.E. Guacolda (3%, 610 MW) * Pacific Hydro (3%, 551 MW) A number of other companies account for the remaining 14% (2418 MW)〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Energy in Chile」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
