The same happened with Bill 6953 of 2021, which was not approved by the Commission of Energy and Mines of the Congress of Peru, as analyzed before. For this reason, energy policy objectives should aim, on the one hand, at recovering the State's capacity to decide the structure of our energy matrix in the long term.
Finally, Figure 21 shows the development over time of the installed capacity in MW of solar PV energy in Peru. Figure 21. Evolution (years) of the solar photovoltaic installed capacity (MW) in Peru. Figure 21 shows that the first stage of solar PV energy in the country began in 2012, with strong growth from 2012 to 2023.
Potentialities and Limitations of Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Energy in Peru Solar PV energy advances on a large scale have already been carried out in Peru, as they are environmentally friendly and an attractive option to apply in different geographical locations with solar resource potentialities.
Table 17 shows that there is a total of 33 solar photovoltaic facility projects planned to be executed in Peru between 2024 and 2028 Furthermore, it is possible to see that the projects are in the northern zone (Piura) and southern zone (Ica, Tacna, Moquegua, Puno and Arequipa) of Peru.
In 2008, Peru implemented important energy transition polices measures, in particular the creation of the Ministry of the Environment and the enactment of Legislative Decree 1002 (Gobierno del Gobierno del Perú, 2008), which aimed to promote the use of RER, establishing guidelines to define contribution percentages of RER in electricity generation.
For Peru to fulfill its commitments in environmental matters, it is necessary to implement an updated legal framework and new policies that allow to renew the momentum to advance in the energy transition.
The global solar folding container and energy storage container market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with portable and outdoor power demand increasing by over 400% in the past three years. Solar folding container solutions now account for approximately 50% of all new portable solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 45% market share, driven by emergency response needs and outdoor industry demand. Europe follows with 40% market share, where energy storage containers have provided reliable electricity for off-grid applications and remote operations. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 60% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing solar folding container system prices by 30% annually.
