He further noted that “it is a blatant disregard that the study intended to circumscribe the impacts during the construction phase of Capitan Prat Province. They did not taking care of that affect the image of ‘nature that moves’ in the region and country, and the area of the Carretera Austral from Balmaceda to the south, considering the high traffic of buses with workers and machinery during the tourist season.

Finally, said another inconsistency is that HidroAysen incentives to engage in discussion on tourism regional considering that when the company failed to support a regional public consultation process on the dams in Aysen Pedro Vial, manager of Environment and Community Relations, explained the decision saying it was “prudent to remain independent of any activity that is beyond the direct field performance as electricity generation company, so as to respect, in his capacity as assessed through the regular channels of technical analysis and expertise of government services that are called upon to pronounce on it. ” “Will HidroAysen now extended the electric company turn productive development agency?
