Overview
Peru’s energy sector is advancing with ambitious climate and renewable targets, aiming for a 30% reduction in emissions by 2030 and expanding wind and solar capacity. Governed by the Ministry of Energy and Mines, the market features a liberalised electricity system, growing private investment, and significant rural electrification efforts. Hydropower dominates the energy mix, while gas and renewables are expanding, supported by regulatory reforms and infrastructure development.

Highlights
- For 2030, the country aims to reach a 30% share of wind and solar in the power mix and to reduce GHG emissions by 30% compared to a BAU scenario.
- Kallpa, Engie, Niagara Energy, and Electroperu are the main electricity producers with around half of total electricity generation.
- Pluz Energía and Luz del Sur (both China-owned) cover 1/3 of power distribution.
- The power mix is dominated by hydroelectricity (52% on average), followed by natural gas (40%).
- Gas production increased by 7.5%/year since 2020; around 60% of which is consumed locally, mostly in power plants.
- Transport accounts for 44% of final energy consumption and 76% of oil products consumption.
- While less than 2 GW of power projects are under construction, 67 GW are under development, including 30 GW hydro and 22 GW solar. Green hydrogen production projects are gaining momentum.
Energy & Climate Policy Framework
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 Companies
Oil:
Oil production is carried out by multiple companies.
Petrotal is the largest producer (43% total production in 2024); it operates Block 95 in Loreto, followed by the OIG consortium (De Jong and Petroperú, 13% production), in Block X of Talara.
Energy Supply & Demand
Gas:
Gas production has increased by 7.5%/ year since 2020, reaching 17.4 bcm in 2024. The last decade showed an average growth of 2%/year but was marked by a few ups and downs, with a peak at 15.5 bcm in 2016 followed by a 17% fall until 2020. The Camisea fields (Block 88-56-57) account for 95% of total gas production since 2011.
Energy Use and Price by Sector
Energy Prices in Residential:
Residential electricity prices have been fluctuating around US$c14/kWh since 2017 (US$c13.8/kWh in 2024).
Regulated prices are revised twice a year by Osinergmin, with an additional revision every 4 years. Electricity prices are in line with the South American average.

Issues & Prospects
Electricity:
Around 1.6 GW of power plants are under construction, with around 70% from solar and the remaining from hydropower plants. Around 67 GW are currently under development, including 43% from hydro, 33% from solar, and 21% from wind.
