Key points

• Key points:
• As a result of the aforementioned 2013 reform, today electricity is supplied to the grid with a priority criterion that privileges the dispatch of electricity in the first place to those who sell it at a lower price and in the end the most expensive
• This has two important benefits: first, that the cheapest possible electricity is available at all times
• The second, that the cheapest electricity is the least polluting, which benefits the environment
• However, if the counter-reform is approved, there will be a serious setback and great and irreversible damage to the country
