Energy in Peru

Peru’s Ministry of Energy and Mines (MEM) reports a potential of exploitable geothermal energy capacity of 3,000MW. According to Makoto Nakao, representative of Japan’s International Cooperation Agency (JICA) the scope of work for the Master Plan for Development of Geothermal Energy in Peru, agreed between the Peruvian government and JICA and signed in late 2009, has been ratified. It is also “considered favorable” in the context of the priorities identified for the development of Peru. Makoto Nakao said that geothermal energy “has to be the only one that offers high utilization factors by providing stable power supply for 365 days a year.”
