📊 A postponement felt in every lightbulb
For the second time this session, the National Assembly left the final debate on the Partial Reform of the Organic Law of the Electric System and Service on the table. The official excuse was that progress had already been made “in a fruitful manner” in reviewing more than twenty articles, and that it would be best to continue the discussion in another session. On the street, the takeaway is different: the measure that promises to organize energy generation, transmission, distribution, and commercialization—and open the door to private capital—has yet to be approved as the country faces increasingly long power outages.

📊 The National Assembly once again kicks the electricity reform down the road
The second reading of the partial reform to the Electricity Service Law has once again been put on hold. During an ordinary session, the ruling-party caucus asked to postpone the debate, arguing that the text still needs adjustments. As a result, the bill—which promises a service that is continuous, reliable, safe, and high-quality—has yet to become law. In a country where power outages are part of everyday life, the announcement carries weight: the debate over the rules governing a sector on which absolutely everything else depends has been postponed yet again.
