that they face. For this reason, our challenge will be to sustainably promote its development, considering the degree of maturation of the projects, which will increase in the coming years. There is no doubt that our country requires more energy, but not of any kind. Our Government, from day one, has committed itself to a fundamental message, which is that Chile develop energies that allow the country to achieve sustainable economic development, with adequate safeguards in terms of health and environmental protection. A clear example of the above, among other measures, are the emission standards for thermoelectric plants issued in 2011 by our Government and which placed the country at similar levels of demand as those applied in the European Union. Despite the commitment we assume in this matter, we are aware that we cannot do without fossil fuels as sources of energy generation. and It is a relevant source for security of supply, since it has a high plant factor and competitive average costs with respect to other technologies. However, our duty is to deepen the regulation of the use of this type of fuel, demanding the highest standards of environmental compliance. s
