Peru is making strides in renewable energy (RE) by integrating wind and solar power into its grid, aiming to reach 20% RE by 2030. As part of Peru''s preparations for a greater share of variable renewable energy (vRE) in the electricity mix, the Peruvian power system operator COES partnered with GET.transform to review and enhance existing tools and capacities to maintain a safe and reliable system operation.
COES is now transitioning to centralised vRE power forecasting for more accurate operational predictions and efficient dispatching. In parallel, COES is developing an advanced vRE integration methodology to model future scenarios and address challenges like grid stability and transmission congestion.
Another study from the collaboration provides recommendations for refining Peru''s requirements for wind and solar power plants connected to the national transmission system, particularly around frequency response and voltage ride-through capabilities.
Together, these findings form a holistic strategy, equipping Peru to successfully transition towards more sustainable and resilient energy future. Dive into the individual outputs below to learn more.

GET.TRANSFORM IS CO-FUNDED BY
In a joint report, Peru''s power system operator COES and GET.transform have analysed the current and proposed updates to a specific section of the technical procedure PR-20, which outlines requirements for wind and solar power plants connected to the national transmission system. The goal was to identify gaps in the grid code and suggest amendments to ensure stable and secure grid operations as renewable energy (vRE) capacity grows.
The report provides recommendations for prioritising new technical requirements such as frequency sensitivity modes, voltage ride-through capabilities, and power restoration after faults. These measures are common in many countries and essential for Peru''s growing vRE integration. However, more advanced requirements, like synthetic inertia and grid-forming capabilities, require further assessment due to their complexity and limited global adoption.
The report, delivered to COES earlier this year, concludes that while addressing these gaps is crucial, other areas such as requirements for VRE generation at the distribution level and hybrid generation systems must also be explored to fully ensure Peru''s future grid reliability.

Environment & Ecology
With varying degrees of success, Peru''s 23 electricity distribution companies (EDCs) – a mix of public and private enterprises of varying sizes and operating in diverse areas of the country – have been implementing a small number of pilot projects for technological innovation and energy efficiency (EE). These EDCs have also launched initiatives to implement smart metering systems and automate operational equipment in the primary distribution network to improve the quality of supply. However, while progress has been made, the EDCs'' lack of vision for a smart-electricity grid and the procedures or recommended practices that would enable an orderly transition to digitalisation of the grid has raised concerns.
Launched in 2019, the Power Supply 4.0 project is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by GIZ, in partnership with selected state-owned EDCs, the Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM), the regulatory authority OSINERGMIN (Organismo Supervisor de la Inversión en Energía y Minería) and the state-owned umbrella company FONAFE (Fondo Nacional de Financiamiento de la Actividad Empresarial del Estado). With the original overall goal of providing the regulatory, institutional and technical foundations for Peruvian public utilities to increase EE and integrate renewables in the energy mix, Power Supply 4.0 has been advising three EDCs in the north, south and east of Peru (Hindrandina, SEAL and ELOR).
Power Supply 4.0 project is comprised of four components. NIRAS was contracted to carry out two that focused on preparing and implementing pilot projects in selected utilities as part of their current investment plans and improving conditions for including RE and EE measures in the development of said EDCs'' strategies and new business models.
A smart grid is an electricity network enabling a two-way flow of electricity and data with digital communications technology enabling to detect, react and pro-act to changes in usage and multiple issues. Smart grids have self-healing capabilities and enable electricity customers to become active participants.
MINEM has been leading the process to modernize Peru''s electricity sector. In the case of distribution, it has been developing reform proposals to improve transparency of the distributor''s functions as a network operator and allow for the deployment of smart-grid technologies, among others.
