The Competition Tribunal qualified the following services provided by electric distribution companies as subject to price fixing: (a) Lease of Electronic Measuring Equipment; (b) Removal of Electronic Measuring Equipment; (c) Relocation of Electrical Connection and Measuring Equipment; (d) Change of Lead-in Wire; (e) Electrical Connection Repair; (f) Execution or Installation of Provisional Electrical Connections; and, (g) Rental of Provisional Electrical Connection. The Tribunal considered that existing market conditions do not guarantee that a free price regime will be sufficient.
The Tribunal also decided to reject the National Prosecutor’s Office’s proposal of modifying the Fifth Statement of Resolution N° 592, issued by H. Comisión Resolutiva in 2001, given its general nature and the fact that, according to Law N° 18410, the sectoral authority –Superintendencia de Electricidad y Combustibles, SEC- is the authority that has to satisfy the National Prosecutor’s Office’s concerns.
