An investigation into the massive power outage that occurred across Chile on February 25 has revealed critical failures in the country's electrical system. The Chilean Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed charges against the Board of Directors of the Coordinador Eléctrico and eight electricity companies in connection with the blackout. Academic research attributes the widespread propagation of the outage to multiple factors involving the electricity companies, the Coordinador Eléctrico, and the SEC itself. In response to the incident, the Coordinador Eléctrico has denied using insurance funds or public money to pay any potential fines related to the blackout. Additionally, the power disruption has prompted ISA (ISA Conexiones) to activate a reliability initiative and review its systems following similar events in Chile, Spain, and Portugal linked to non-conventional renewable energy sources. Separately, a fire alarm and evacuation were reported at Clínica Santa María in Providencia due to a suspected electrical failure. Meanwhile, the Fiscalía has filed a lawsuit against the electricity company Naturgy following a consumer association's complaint alleging market manipulation. These developments have intensified scrutiny on Chile's electrical infrastructure and regulatory oversight.
