📋 Tender Overview
o Supreme Decree No. 008-2026-EM, allows updating the remuneration for transmission works and facilitating the execution of strategic investments in favor of the populationThe Executive Branch issued Supreme Decree No. 008-2026-EM, which modifies various provisions of the Transmission Regulations, with the purpose of optimizing the planning of the national electrical infrastructure, promoting the timely execution of investments and strengthening the reliability of the electrical service for the benefit of millions of Peruvians.
The Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM) indicated that the standard establishes mechanisms that will allow for a more efficient, updated and executable Transmission Plan, eliminating projects that, for technical, economic or legal reasons, have lost viability and whose permanence delays the development of priority works for the National Interconnected Electrical System (SEIN).
Among the main modifications, the express power of the MINEM is incorporated to withdraw not only binding projects as a whole, but also individual projects that comprise them when their execution is unfeasible or impossible to comply with.
This overcomes a regulatory gap that prevented the investment portfolio from being refined, allowing projects with no real possibilities of execution to continue being part of sectoral planning for several years, affecting the efficiency of the development of the transmission system.
Likewise, the standard incorporates a mechanism to update the Tariff Base of Reinforcement projects, which will preserve the real value of investments in the face of international inflation, provide greater predictability to investors and generate more favorable conditions for the execution of electrical infrastructure.
Another relevant aspect is the incorporation of an exceptional regime that will make possible the execution of Reinforcements approved in previous updates of the Transmission Plan that have not yet been implemented, which will facilitate the reactivation of strategic works aimed at strengthening the capacity, security and reliability of the electrical transmission system.
The MINEM explains that the approved modifications respond to the need to adapt the regulatory framework to the operational reality of the electricity sector, eliminating rigidities that hindered the execution of investments and providing the planning process with tools that allow it to respond more efficiently to the growth in energy demand.
With the entry into force of Supreme Decree No. 008-2026-EM, the MINEM reaffirms its commitment to strengthening the countrys electrical infrastructure, promoting a modern regulatory framework that favors the execution of investments, increases the reliability of the transmission system and contributes to the sustainable development of Peru.
