Specifically, according to what Portafolio has learned, the idea is to obtain subscriptions that this company can market. users of layers 1, 2 and 3 represent more than 80% of customers; applied to vessel damage, energy control and network security.
This last aspect is key, because it gradually reduces the risk of fraud and prevents resources that are lost and do not generate the expected results.
So companies throughout the country, especially those in the regions Caribbean, Cauca, Caquetá, Nariño and Huilawhich are the most diligent losses and in their bills they enter this part, they will continue to do in the investment fund.

However, Fonseca points out that the support must correspond to each point lost and recovered in order for the system to be efficient and effective.
According to the expertise of several years ago, non-technical energy losses, which are considered due to inefficiencies; The authors were not recognized, but they allowed the change to be made in the 2018 methodology and system of the Caribbean region. OR’The location, which was connected with the inflationary spiral of the last year and a half, was stimulated by the bills, especially the Maritime Letters.

It has been requested that the rates of subsidies be frozen
Due to the high prices, the mayor of MedellÃn and the president of the Board of Directors of the EPM Daniel Quintero, asked the President Gustavo Petro for the approval to freeze the goods.
