Abstract

Currently the country is facing serious crisis in the electric power sector and energy deficit is no longer a future threat, but a problem today that urgently needs to find solutions for the short, medium and long term. Solutions should be taken with urgency, and here it is noteworthy that the crisis that we now live in the electricity sector is directly related with the lack of planning in the years that have passed. The solutions for the short and medium term, with the exception of energy conservation, are emergency solutions and are more costly to society. And the long-term solutions depend on the direction the government will give the sector. A viable alternative to eliminate the risk of blackout are the increase in investments in generation by power plants programs because their projects are relatively quick to implementation and operation. But can these projects require environmental damage that will undoubtedly need to be studied, from the perspective of environmental law, analyzed and monitored to not sacrifice the environment we live in exchange for the purpose of achieving development. Making up concomitantly required, the monitoring and assessment of legal issues related to these projects, hence proposals that aim to achieve sustainability then be made.
