Highlights
- Renewables are planned to account for 60% of the electricity mix in 2025 and emissions should be reduced by 30% in 2030.
- ISQ, Engie, and Electroperu are the main electricity producers, holding 55% of the total capacity.
- Pluspetrol operates Camisea's blocks 88 & 56, which represented 84% of total gas production in 2019.
- The electric mix is dominated by hydroelectricity and natural gas (93% in 2019, of which 55% for hydro).
- Electricity and oil prices are in line with Latin American averages.
- Total energy consumption has increased very rapidly since the mid-2000s. Oil and gas cover around 60% of final consumption. The electrification rate increased from 48% in 1991 to about 98% in 2019.
- Peru has 1.9 GW of hydropower projects under construction.
- Peru pledged for a 100% electrification rate by 2021. Over US$1bn in investment will be required to achieve this target.

Abstract
Institutions & Energy Policy
The Ministry of Mines and Energy (MEM) is in charge of the energy sector, through three main Directorates: the General Directorate of Hydrocarbons (DGH), the General Directorate of Electricity Hydrocarbons (DGE) and the General Directorate for Energy Efficiency (DGEE).
Energy Supply
Resources:
Proven oil reserves stand at 167 Mt and gas reserves at 300 bcm (end of 2019). Coal reserves stand at 102 Mt. Peru has important hydroelectric resources, with an estimated potential of 70 GW; its wind potential is estimated at 22 GW.
Energy Prices
Gas:
The reference price of natural gas is Camisea. It is composed of an unregulated portion in the exploration well (in Boca de Pozo), a transportation tariff (Tarifa de Transporte de la Red Principal), and a distribution tariff (Tarifa Única de Distribución); both tariffs are determined by Osinergim.
Energy Consumption
In 2019, per capita energy consumption was 0.78 toe, which is around 25% below the South American average (around 1.3 toe). Electricity consumption per capita is 1 530 kWh.
Total energy consumption increased very rapidly between 2006 and 2018, driven by rapid economic growth at an average rate of 5%/year, but decreased slightly in 2019 to 25 Mtoe.
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).
