Resumen
En el sector eléctrico se ha vuelto recurrente que los concesionarios de proyectos eléctricos
acudan al Ministerio de Energía y Minas para alegar la ocurrencia de eventos que a su
criterio califican como caso fortuito o fuerza mayor, a fin de liberarse de toda responsabilidad
y ver prorrogado el plazo de su proyecto mitigando así los riesgos y las consecuencias de
no lograr la operación comercial del proyecto en la fecha prevista, incurrir en algún
incumplimiento contractual o legal e incluso estar frente al inicio de un procedimiento de
caducidad de su concesión definitiva.
De esta manera, los concesionarios con mucha frecuencia buscan encausar cualquier
acontecimiento que impacte en el desarrollo de su proyecto bajo el supuesto de caso fortuito
o fuerza mayor sin haber realizado previamente el análisis jurídico para determinar si se
encuentran frente a un evento extraordinario, imprevisible e irresistible. A propósito de esta
práctica cotidiana que el autor ha identificado en su ejercicio profesional surge el presente
artículo académico, el mismo que busca analizar la figura jurídica del caso fortuito y fuerza
mayor aplicado en el sector eléctrico, así como evaluar si las demoras atribuibles al propio
Estado califican dentro de dicha figura jurídica.
In the electricity sector, it has become recurrent for electricity project concessionaires to turn to the Ministry of Energy and Mines to allege the occurrence of events that in their opinion qualify as a fortuitous event or force majeure, in order to free themselves from any liability and see the term of their project extended, thus mitigating the risks and consequences of not achieving the commercial operation of the project on the scheduled date, incurring in any contractual or legal breach and even being faced with the start of a procedure for the expiry of their definitive concession. In this way, concessionaires very often seek to channel any event that impacts the development of their project under the assumption of fortuitous event or force majeure without having previously carried out the legal analysis to determine whether they are facing an extraordinary, unforeseeable and irresistible event. This academic article arises from this daily practice that the author has identified in his professional practice and seeks to analyse the legal concept of fortuitous events and force majeure applied in the electricity sector, as well as to evaluate whether the delays attributable to the State itself qualify within this legal concept.
