The National Electricity Administration (ANDE) is advancing three tenders to acquire over 159,000 electronic meters, while studying the feasibility of purchasing up to 1 million AMI smart meters. The initiative aims to reduce reliance on in-person readings, currently performed by only 400 employees for 1.8 million customers, and to curb overbilling complaints.

The president of the Social Security Institute (IPS), Isaías Fretes, announced an asset audit to map the agency's more than 800 properties. Preliminary estimates indicate that the IPS receives only 20% of the amount due in rents, generating huge losses. The investigation, coordinated by Minister Alberto Cabrera, will also cover the control of medicines and supplies.
