Abstract: One of the main issues in deciding an expansion in power transmission capacity is the effect on generators’ competition. This paper aims to perform an econometric estimation of the main determinants of long-term regulated contract prices from 2006 to 2014 and use the results to estimate the effect on market power reduction of an interconnection of the two main power systems in Chile.
