ROUSSEAU, Isabelle. The energy reform (2013-2014) in light of the new legislation on the social impacts of projects. Foro int [online]. 2020, vol.60, n.2, pp.853-887.  Epub 14-Ago-2020. ISSN 0185-013X.  https://doi.org/10.24201/fi.v60i2.2740.

In the context of the 2014 energy reform, the laws on the hydrocarbon and the electricity sector included tools for preventing, mitigating or repairing the possible damage that the infrastructure of mega-projects relating to this sector may cause to communities. This effort to regulate the social impact of projects responds to the promotion of sustainable development by the sector, combining the country’s energy security (availability of energy products at accessible prices) with governance of the projects (granting legal certainty to public and private investments, while protecting the rights of communities). This paper will analyze both the new regulations and their potential shortcomings.
