Bolivia Nationalizes Two Spanish Electricity Distribution
Companies
In an effort to assert control over national resources Bolivia has
nationalized two Spanish electricity distribution companies. The
measure on the eve of New Year – 2013 – comes up as an
example of initiatives to secure interest of people.
Bolivia nationalized two electricity distribution companies owned
by Spanish utility Iberdrola on December 29, 2012, the latest move
by leftist President Evo Morales to assert control over the
country's resources.
Iberdrola will be compensated according to a valuation to be drawn
up by an independent arbiter, Morales said, adding that the measure
was aimed at enhancing rural energy services.
"We considered this measure necessary to ensure equitable energy
tariffs ... and to see to it that the quality of electricity
service is uniform in rural as well as urban areas," Morales
said.
Morales has nationalized oil, telecommunications, mining and
electrical generation companies.
In June, Morales took control of global commodities giant
Glencore's tin and zinc mine in Bolivia and more nationalizations
of mining companies could be ahead in the Andean country, writes
