The State-run
presented its report "Electricity Sector Balance 2002–2024," which details the progress and current status of public–private partnership (PPP) projects in electricity transmission and generation awarded between 2002 and 2024.
This report is the first in a series of sectoral assessments designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the PPP system.
Likewise, it highlights the investors involved in project development and identifies the regions where the projects were implemented.
Lucich added that 55 electricity transmission projects were awarded during the analyzed period for a total of US$6.123 billion, with an execution progress of 55.7% (US$3.413 billion).
Regarding electricity generation, 14 projects were awarded for a total of US$5.317 billion, with execution progress of 80.1%, equivalent to US$4.251 billion.
Awarded investment amounted to US$2.589 billion, benefiting 18 million people, he highlighted.
Transmission lines
The ProInversion official noted that Peru has nearly 30,000 kilometers of electricity transmission lines nationwide to date, enabling the provision of a reliable and continuous power supply.
In this regard, Lucich said the evolution of the interconnected power system has increased the electricity supply's reliability and expanded capacity to meet demand without interruptions.
He added that ProInversion's Data Analysis and Strategic Intelligence Unit has made it possible to identify investments aimed at closing gaps in electricity transmission and generation, helping to improve system reliability and strengthen sector planning.
He explained that under this scheme—where the private sector builds and finances the infrastructure before transferring it to the State—the model creates long-term expectations consistent with the nature of infrastructure projects.
Tender documents standardization
The ProInversion Electricity Projects Director also highlighted that the standardization of tender documents and contracts has provided legal certainty for investments.
Del Aguila added the next step will be to scale up investment in sub-transmission or CTFs (Complementary Transmission Facilities).
"This is a challenge because these projects are located very close to population centers, which means that in many cases they will have to be built in underground sections. That, in turn, implies that projects will require more extensive fieldwork before they can be offered to the private sector," he warned.
