The document discusses the current state of geothermal energy development in Peru. It notes that according to Peru's Geothermal Master Plan, the country has a potential geothermal capacity of over 1,287 MW, with the most promising resources located in the Southern Volcanic Zone spanning the Tacna, Moquegua, and Puno regions. It provides details on several active geothermal exploration and development projects throughout Peru. It also outlines Peru's policies to promote renewable energy development through auction processes and feeding into the national power grid, and discusses some barriers to increased geothermal energy use such as high exploration costs and some resources being located in protected areas.

Investment options on geothermal energy • AUCTION GENERATION ON RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES (RER): • It is held every two years, according to the established for each auction. • RER generation projects involving wind, solar, geothermal and hydropower (untill 20 MW) • Bidders offered amount of energy and unit price. • The offers are presented and evaluated by type technology. The competition factor is the price • The selected project rate is fixed for the duration contract Investment options on geothermal energy • NATIONAL INTERCONNECTED SYSTEM (SEIN): • The operation of the electricity market is the responsibility COES. • Plants with renewable energies, after hydropower plants and then the diesel power plants are dispatched • The project sells energy to SEIN at the market rate. • Geothermal energy rate is about 8-9 Ctvs US$/kWh • The rate of hydropower is approximately 4-4,5 Ctvs • The alternative is to contract directly with a mining or other which is supplied with a central diesel.
