Peru Total Energy Consumption
In 2023, energy consumption per capita was 0.75 toe, which is around 45% below the Latin American average. Electricity consumption per capita was 1 500 kWh.
Total energy consumption has increased rapidly since 2020 (5.5%/year) and reached 26 Mtoe in 2023. It increased at a similar rate between 2006 and 2019 (around 5%/year), driven by rapid economic growth, and dropped by 16% in 2020 due to the Covid crisis.

Peru Crude Oil Production
Oil production remained stable since 2021 (4.4 Mt in 2023), after a decrease of 26% in 2020. It has grown before by 4%/year between 2017 and 2019 after another drop by almost 30% between 2014 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.

Peru Renewable in % Electricity Production
The National Energy Plan 2014-2025 set a target of 60% of renewables in the electricity mix in 2025 (54% hydropower and 6% from other renewables) (52% in 2023) and a 20% share of wind and solar power by 2030. In 2023, the 2025 target was reached for other renewables (6% of wind, solar and biomass); the share of hydro is fluctuating but reached 56% in 2021, but only 47% in 2023.

Peru CO2 Fuel Combustion/CO2 Emissions
The updated NDC (2020) set a GHG emissions reduction target of 30% in 2030 (to 209 MtCO2eq) compared to a BAU scenario. This target could be increased to 40% (179 MtCO2eq), with international support through bilateral, multilateral cooperation and implementation of mechanisms under the Paris Agreement.
From 2000 to 2019, date of the last inventory, GHG emissions were multiplied by a factor 3.1, increasing from 68 MtCO2eq to 210 Mt CO2 (+6%/year). Agriculture represented 61% of these emissions in 2019, followed by energy (30%), waste (5%) and industrial process (4%).
