Abstract

El principal aporte de este artículo es entregar de manera sistemática y confiable una descripción de la estructura y relaciones de propiedad prevalecientes en la industria de Gas Natural en Chile. Se muestra que esta industria se encuentra geogràficamente segmentada en cuatro zonas: Norte, Centro, Sur y Magallanes. El desarrollo de las redes de Gas Natural dentro de cada zona es relativamente limitado y las estructuras de mercado en los segmentos de transporte y distribución, por el lado de la oferta, están concentradas. Por el lado de la demanda existen rasgos particulares dentro de cada zona, siendo común la mayor importancia de la demanda industrial por sobre la residencial. Se destaca la importancia de la relación que existe entre capacidad máxima de transporte, capacidad contratada y capacidad utilizada de las redes. Se observa una baja utilización de las redes, brindando una señal de baja eficiencia productiva al no aprovechar las economías de escala en el transporte del Gas Natural. Se analiza asimismo el grado de integración vertical dentro de cada zona, a través de las relaciones patrimoniales existentes entre las empresas participantes. Es un tópico importante de analizar debido a que la ausencia o no de competencia en mercados claves de alguna manera justifican o desechan la posibilidad de regular precios en la industria.
