Peru’s energy sector was privatised in the 1990´s and concessions were granted for power generation, transmission and distribution. Nevertheless, the Peruvian government still maintains an important position within the sector. While investment in generation, transmission and distribution in urban areas is predominantly private, resources for rural electrification come solely from public sources.<br/>

Capital:

Region:

Coordinates:

12.0433° S, 77.0283° W

Total Area (km²): It includes a country's total area, including areas under inland bodies of water and some coastal waterways.

1,285,220

Population: It is based on the de facto definition of population, which counts all residents regardless of legal status or citizenship--except for refugees not permanently settled in the country of asylum, who are generally considered part of the population of their country of origin.

33,845,617 (2023)

Rural Population (% of total population): It refers to people living in rural areas as defined by national statistical offices. It is calculated as the difference between total population and urban population.

21 (2023)

GDP (current US$): It is the sum of gross value added by all resident producers in the economy plus any product taxes and minus any subsidies not included in the value of the products. It is calculated without making deductions for depreciation of fabricated assets or for depletion and degradation of natural resources.

267,603,248,655 (2023)

GDP Per Capita (current US$): It is gross domestic product divided by midyear population

7,906.59 (2023)

Access to Electricity (% of population): It is the percentage of population with access to electricity.

96.20 (2023)

Energy Imports Net (% of energy use): It is estimated as energy use less production, both measured in oil equivalents. A negative value indicates that the country is a net exporter. Energy use refers to use of primary energy before transformation to other end-use fuels, which is equal to indigenous production plus imports and stock changes, minus exports and fuels supplied to ships and aircraft engaged in international transport.

12.19 (2022)

Fossil Fuel Energy Consumption (% of total): It comprises coal, oil, petroleum, and natural gas products.

76.85 (2022)

Introduction

The Human Development Index for Peru is 0.741 that gives to the country a rank of 77. out of 186 countries[1]. Around 25.8% of the Peruvian population is poor.
Poverty is widespread especially in rural areas, 53.00% of rural population is considered poor compared with 16.6% of the urban population.[2] According to national statistics, the poorest departments are: Huancavelica (77% of the population), Apurimac (66.1%), Huánuco (58.5%), Ayacucho (55.9%) and Puno (56.0%), all of them are located in the Andean highlands (Sierra).[2]
The main reasons for poverty are: i) the limited access to natural resources such as land and water, ii) lack of productive and public infrastructure and iii) inefficient production technologies. The problems are aggravated by deforestation caused by a high consumption of firewood. In addition, poor families generally have no access to modern energy, education, health and sanitation services.[3]
In addition, the living conditions of poor families in the Andean regions are affected by natural disasters such as earthquakes, drought, and landslides, which affects the supply of water, electricity and other public services, in areas where such services are available, and hundreds of social institutions, such as health centres and schools which are seriously damage.
With regard to electricity access, the remoteness and inaccessibility of their locations, reduced power consumption, communities and households widely spread and low purchasing power of the people; limit the expansion of electricity coverage (PNER,2009). It is estimated that 45,000 small communities share these characteristics.[3]
