Lima, January 20, 2026.- The Private Investment Promotion Agency – PROINVERSIÓN presented its publication “Electricity Sector Review 2002–2024”, which details the progress status and current situation of Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects in electricity transmission and generation awarded between 2002 and 2024.
During the presentation, Iván Lucich, Director of the Investor Services Directorate and Head of the Data Analysis, Research, and Strategic Intelligence Unit at PROINVERSIÓN, stated that between 2002 and 2024 the Agency awarded 69 electricity projects for an approximate amount of US$ 10 billion.
The publication is the first in a series of sectoral reports aimed at providing a comprehensive overview of the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) system; it also highlights the investors involved in project development and identifies the regions where these projects have been implemented.
Lucich specified that during the period in question, 55 electricity transmission projects were awarded for a total amount 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 an execution progress of 80.1%, equivalent to US$ 4.251 billion. He also noted that over the past two years, awarded investments totaled US$ 2.589 billion, benefiting 18 million people.
Likewise, he indicated that Peru currently has nearly 30,000 kilometers of electricity transmission lines nationwide, enabling the provision of reliable and continuous service. In this regard, he noted that the evolution of the interconnected electricity system has increased supply reliability and expanded capacity to meet demand without interruptions.
He added that PROINVERSIÓN’s Data Analysis and Strategic Intelligence Unit has helped identify investments aimed at closing gaps in electricity transmission and generation, contributing to improved system reliability and strengthened sector planning.
For his part, PROINVERSIÓN’s Director of Electricity Projects, Aníbal del Águila, noted that the BOT (Build–Operate–Transfer) concession model has enabled the attraction of major companies to the sector. He explained that under this scheme—where the private sector builds, finances, and later transfers the infrastructure to the State—it is possible to create long-term investment expectations consistent with the nature of infrastructure projects.
He also highlighted that the standardization of bidding documents and contracts has provided legal certainty for investments, adding that the next step will be to scale investment toward subtransmission or Complementary Transmission Facilities (CTF).
“This is a challenge because these projects are located very close to populated areas, which often means they will need to be developed in underground sections. This requires more extensive fieldwork so that the projects can be properly structured and offered to the private sector,” he warned.
