PERU: Overcoming the Barriers to Hydropower

The intention of this report is to assist the GOP in assessing the potential role of hydropower in the sector and the measures that could be taken to encourage its continued development as appropriate. The study was done at a particularly challenging time.

 

First, there was considerable volatility in energy prices and investment costs, which needed to be incorporated into the analysis. Second, financial markets were in disarray and it was difficult to predict when conditions were likely to normalize. Third, the GOP recently introduced many new policies and regulatory measures through supreme decrees that are changing the regulatory system and may interact in unexpected ways.
