📋 Tender Overview
o Works carried out in Amazonas, Ancash, Ayacucho, Huancavelica, Moquegua and Puno allow more than 20,000 citizens to have energy in their homes.The Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM), through the General Directorate of Rural Electrification (DGER), reported that during the course of this year it managed to bring electricity to 257 rural localities, benefiting 20,629 inhabitants and contributing to closing gaps in access to basic services in various regions of the country.
This advance was possible thanks to the physical execution of seven rural electrification projects, executed with an investment of more than S/ 111 million, which allowed expanding electrical coverage in communities in the regions of Amazonas, Ancash, Ayacucho, Huancavelica, Moquegua and Puno.
Among the initiatives with the greatest impact, the project to expand distribution networks in the Puno region stands out, which allowed 197 rural towns to be electrified and benefit more than 12 thousand inhabitants, strengthening access to energy in one of the regions with the greatest geographic challenges in the country.
Likewise, the electrification project carried out in the Ayacucho region stands out, which incorporated 25 rural localities into electrical service, contributing to improving the living conditions of hundreds of families and generating new opportunities for productive, educational and social development.
The works completed this year allow more Peruvians to access safe and reliable electrical service, favoring the operation of health facilities, educational institutions, local businesses and economic activities that promote the development of communities.
In this regard, the Vice Minister of Electricity, Luis Santillan, highlighted that these results reflect the Governments commitment to bringing energy to the populations that need it most.
Each locality that accesses electrical service represents a development opportunity for Peruvian families. Electricity improves conditions for education, strengthens health services, promotes local entrepreneurship and contributes to generating better opportunities for the economic development of rural communities, he noted.
The MINEM thus reaffirms its commitment to continue promoting rural electrification projects throughout the national territory, with the aim of expanding electricity coverage and guaranteeing that more Peruvian families have access to modern, safe and sustainable energy.
