智利《三点钟报》10月14日报道，近期由于中东局势紧张，国际原油价格大幅上涨，引发各国能源焦虑。根据智央行数据，智利虽为原油净进口国，但石油对国家生产的影响“近年来已大大降低”，主要得益于能源使用效率提升和能源矩阵多样化。在运输领域，随着电动汽车的普及，智利对石油的依赖度从08年的35.9%下降至2021年的30%；在发电领域，截至2023年底，太阳能、风能等可再生能源占比达34%，正逐步取代石油。石油进口方面，2003年石油及其衍生品的进口额占总进口额的30%，到2024年，这一比例将降至10%。

Chile's "Three o 'clock newspaper" reported on October 14 that recently due to the tension in the Middle East, international crude oil prices have risen sharply, causing energy anxiety in various countries. According to the central bank, although Chile is a net importer of crude oil, the impact of oil on national production "has been greatly reduced in recent years", mainly due to improved energy efficiency and diversification of the energy matrix. In the transport sector, Chile's dependence on oil dropped from 35.9% in 2008 to 30% in 2021 as electric vehicles became more popular. In the field of power generation, by the end of 2023, renewable energy such as solar and wind energy accounted for 34%, and are gradually replacing oil. In terms of oil imports, oil and its derivatives accounted for 30% of total imports in 2003, and this proportion will fall to 10% by 2024.
