Highlights
- Renewables are planned to account for 60% of the electricity mix in 2025 and GHG emissions should be reduced by 30% in 2030.
- ISQ, Engie, and Enel are the main electricity producers, holding 55% of the total capacity.
- Pluspetrol represents over 90% of total gas production.
- The power mix is dominated by hydroelectricity (58%), followed by natural gas (35%).
- Motor fuel prices are among the highest in South America. Electricity prices are quite stable and in line with South American average.
- Total energy consumption fell by 10% in 2020 after very rapid growth since the mid-2000s.
- Oil and gas cover around 60% of final consumption.
- The electrification rate increased from 72% in 2000 to 98% in 2019.
- Peru has 1.9 GW of hydropower projects under construction.
- A 95% rate of rural electrification is targeted for 2023.

Abstract
Institutions & Energy Policy
The Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM) is in charge of the energy sector, through three main Directorates: the General Directorate of Hydrocarbons (DGH), the General Directorate of Electricity (DGE), and the General Directorate of Mines (DGM).
Energy Supply
Oil:
Oil production has been stable at around 5 Mt since 2017 (4.8 Mt in 2020), after a decrease of almost 30% between 2010 and 2016.
The Nor-Peruano pipeline (854 km), with a capacity of 200 kb/d and which transports oil from Saramuro (Loreto) to the port of Bayovar (Piura), began operations in 2017 after one year of inactivity following damages inflicted by third parties in 2015.
Energy Prices
Electricity:
The price of electricity is US$c10.4/kWh for industry and US$c13.9/kWh for the residential sector (2020). Industry prices have remained relatively stable since 2018 and were previously stable at around US$c9/kWh between 2014 and 2017. Residential prices saw a slight decrease until 2017 from their peak in 2014 and were back to their 2017 level in 2020 after an increase in 2018.
Energy Consumption
In 2020, energy consumption per capita was 0.7 toe, which is around 40% below the Latin American average (around 1.2 toe). Electricity consumption per capita was 1 400 kWh.
Total energy consumption fell by 10% in 2020 to 23 Mtoe due to the Covid crisis. It increased very rapidly between 2006 and 2019 (around 5%year), driven by rapid economic growth.
Issues & Prospects
Peru has been faced with a significant energy demand growth since the mid-2000s, and consequently requires its energy supply capacities to be substantially expanded. According to Peru's National Energy Plan 2014-2025, the country aims to attain a 60% renewables share in 2025 (of which 54% from hydro).
