Energy Route 2018-2022. Leading the modernization with citizen stamp

The ?Energy Route 2018-2022: Leading Modernization with Citizen Initiatives? is an initiative launched by Chile?s Ministry of Energy through which a citizens? participatory process was coordinated in 15 regions around the country, and in which citizens were figured by numerous representatives from various groups. The aim of this action was the collection of information and inputs, based on the citizens? perceptions and opinions, regarding the modernization of energy infrastructures in order for these to be incorporated in concrete engagements to be pursued by the Ministry of Energy. Regarding its functioning, five thematic panels were organized; each had a moderator in charge of the discussion and exchange of ideas, which resulted in the definition of priorities that were later discussed to be incorporated as inputs for the elaboration of the programs and policies focused in the energetic sector in Chile.
