The Energy Cabinet has met less than once a year since its creation. Also, SERNA has not been proactive in its role as the Cabinet’s secretary and coordinator to set the agenda and to supply the technical groundwork for decisions. CNE has had a marginal role due to a lack of political support and resources. As a result of this void at the cabinet level, the national utility Empresa Nacional de Energía Eléctrica (ENEE) has become the default point for energy expertise, sought by the government even in matters of policymaking and regulation, which contributes to a weak separation of roles among utility, regulatory agency and the ministry.
