📋 Tender Overview
* Among the main advances, the push for productive uses of electricity stands out, aimed at boosting local economies.The Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM) approved the Supreme Decree that modifies the Regulation of Law No. 28749, General Law of Rural Electrification, with the objective of accelerating the closing of electricity access gaps in rural areas, isolated localities and border areas, throughout the national territory and promoting productive development.
The regulatory update adapts the current Regulation and strengthens the regulatory framework for the efficient execution of rural electrification projects.
Among the main advances of this modification, the promotion of the sanitation of electrical works carried out by regional and local governments through financial transfers from the MINEM stands out, in order to regularize the technical and legal situation of executed projects.
Likewise, productive uses of electricity are promoted, aimed at boosting local economies and improving the quality of life of the rural population.
Along these lines, the Productive Use Promotion Fund is created, which will strengthen knowledge of Peruvian technical standards, electrical safety and basic maintenance of facilities, contributing to electric energy not only reaching more homes, but also becoming a tool to generate income and local development.
Likewise, the requirements for the granting of the Rural Electrical Concession are optimized, allowing the requirements to be simplified to expedite the development of rural electrification projects.
The new Regulation also introduces improvements in the destination and administration of resources, facilitating more efficient management of funds destined for rural electrification.
The General Directorate of Rural Electrification (DGER) of the MINEM specifies that another relevant aspect of the standard is the regulation of the transfer of works and the strengthening of mechanisms for the implementation of non-conventional electrical supplies, expanding access to technologies such as photovoltaic systems in areas of difficult access.
MINEM reaffirms its commitment to bringing energy to more Peruvians, contributing to sustainable development, social inclusion and reducing gaps in access to energy for the most remote populations in the country.
