Somebody told me that you need a special license issued by the "Superintendencia de Electricidad" if you want to be totally independent from power companies. Is that true?

Thanks for your comment but not a very good answer. Think about it, you live in a house which had a contract with an electricity provider for some time and all of a sudden you don't consume electricity any more???

Anyway, anybody around who can answer this question?

Independent from MM infrastructure.

Not my case.

I have never been connected to the grid (as there was no grid near me).
Thus we always have been self-sufficient.
Formerly with a genset, now with solar panels.

all i know is that one you have been connected to the street power you have to keep on paying even if all your electricity comes from a different source. flat monthly rate, 145 pesos a month on the north coast. your bill lists is as "cargo fijo".
if you have never been connected you should be fine.

The neighbors here had a connection to a pump house down the hill to pump water up here.
We just recently terminated the contract with EdeNorte.

We had to pay a $600 peso cancellation fee.
