The Autoridad Nacional de Licencias Ambientales (ANLA), through Resolution 001153 of April 20, 2026, amended Resolution 000921 of 2025 with the aim of adjusting the services subject to charges, as well as the tariffs and structures applicable to environmental evaluation and monitoring processes.
In this context, the Resolution includes renewable energy projects under the LASolar and LAEólica schemes, whose evaluation procedures, terms of reference, and monitoring activities now have specific charging structures.
From a procedural standpoint, a refund scenario is introduced for LASolar and LAEólica projects when the application does not pass the initial criteria verification stage, prior to the preparation of the terms of reference. In such cases, the Authority will refund 67% of the amount paid for the evaluation service.
Additionally, ANLA incorporated services and fee structures associated with environmental management instruments, including Systems for the Collection and Management of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RAEE), Systems for Used Lead-Acid Batteries (BUPA), authorizations for transboundary movements of waste, and the Permit for Providers of Marking Elements (PME).
Another significant adjustment is the inclusion of a tariff structure for the Dynamic Emissions Test Certificate (CEPD) process, along with the approval under the Montreal Protocol, thereby formalizing charges for specialized technical activities that previously lacked a clear tariff framework.
Finally, ANLA established a transitional regime while these changes are implemented in the VITAL platform. During this period, certain charges will be processed manually until full system integration is completed, starting in May 2026.
From Brigard Urrutia, we are available to assess the impacts of this new fee structure on your projects and to support you, from an environmental legal perspective, in optimizing your procedures and efficiently managing costs before ANLA.
