OSINERGMIN

The events presented below counted with the participation of the PROSEMER programme, supporting through many activities or estudies programmed and executed in coordination with OSINERGMIN:”

  • In march 2014, OSINERGMIN approved the Technical Procedure COES PR-22 "Rotating Reserve for Secondary Frequency Regulation" through Resolution No. 58-2014-OS / CD. This standard is a regulatory instrument that will help to optimize the operation of the National Interconnected Electric System of Peru, in order to deal with electrical frequencies of large sustained and / or untimely variations. These kind of frequencies might be produced by the electricity generation of unconventional technologies of renewable energies, as it is wind and solar. This standard will also enable a secure electrical interconnection with the electrical systems of neighboring countries. The contribution of PROSEMER was the development of the aforementioned standard, and based on its compliance, it has been possible to have a lower range of frequency variation in the SEIN (National Interconnected Electric System).

  • In May 2016, the regulation "Procedure to Supervise the Management of the SEIN Planning Operation" was approved, through the resolution of the Board of Directors of OSINERGMIN N ° 100-2016-OS / CD. The regulation is aimed to define the monitoring system, periodicity and indicators (to be calculated by the COES in order to be sent to Osinergmin) used for supervising compliance with the SEIN planning operation in a medium and short term, there by ensuring the security of electricity supply, lower operating costs and the best use of energy resources. The contribution of PROSEMER to this achievement was the development of the referred regulation.

  • In May 2016, the process of the 4th RER Auction (to supply electricity with renewable energy sources) in Peru was closed. After evaluating the economic proposals of the 111 projects qualified as bidders, in February 2016 the auction awarded 99.38% of the required energy (1739.2 GWh / year). This energy will be supplied by 13 renewable energy projects: 02 solar plants with a total of 184 MW, 03 wind power plants with a total of 162 MW, 02 biomass plants with a total of 4 MW, and 06 hydroelectric power plants (less than or equal to 20 MW) with a total of 79 MW. The auction process was conducted by OSINERGMIN through a system platform developed by PROSEMER named "Caseload Management System for power plants using renewable energies". The system was put into operation in April 2014. This system is a web portal that allows OSINERGMIN to manage the different stages of the RER Auction processes, and also allows the agents of the electricity sector to visualize the technical information and fulfillment of the awarded energy associated with each Project: http://www2.osinerg.gob.pe/EnergiasRenovables/EnergiasRenovables.html. It is worth mentioning that the auction had competitive results, as prices awarded were lower than the máximum price established by the regulator, and considering that until may 2016, the prices awarded to solar and wind power energy supply were the lowest of latinamerica in the last years. At the end of 2017, the companies owning the projects with awarded energy supply are executing the implementation schedules of their respective projects.

  • In august 2016, the new system of SCADA and Automatic Generation Control (AGC) of COES was put in operation. The system was implemented in fullfilment of the Resolution No. 270-2014-OS / CD "Minimum technical standards of equipment for coordinating the real-time operation of SEIN" published in December 2014. This standard was elaborated by a PROSEMER study finished in June 2014. The study established the technical specifications and obligations of COES for deploying a new SCADA system suitable to the new regulatory mechanisms of frequency required in the SEIN.

  • In October 2016, the resolution No. 235-2016-OS / CD which approves the No. 11 technical procedure of COES titled "Voluntary service to manual restriction of electricity supply" was published. This procedure allows the demand (applied only to free end-users) to participate in a market to bid the reduction of its consumption in cases of emergency. The procedure was based on one of the proposals of the PROSEMER study named "Problems of the incorporation of non-conventional RER generation in the SEIN and proposed solution" which finished in June 2014.

  • Diversas consultorías desarrolladas han incluido talleres y capacitaciones, los cuales permitieron interactuar con los agentes del sector energía y promover la generación de capacidades, además de facilitar o promover la implementación de los resultados de los estudios desarrollados por estas consultorías.

  • Finalmente, se dispone de otros estudios financiados por el PROSEMER que desarrollaron propuestas normativas para mejorar el marco normativo del subsector electricidad e hidrocarburos. Los estudios referidos son:


    ¿Reforzamiento del sistema de implementación de la planificación de la generación eléctrica", culminado en mayo 2015, y que contiene entre sus propuestas la implementación de un nuevo mecanismo de remuneración de potencia o capacidad.

    ¿Incentivos para promover el uso óptimo de la energía por parte de los usuarios de electricidad", culminado en junio 2016, y propuso un modelo de negocio que favorezca la implementación óptima de la generación distribuida y la cogeneración en el Perú.

     ¿Reforzamiento del sistema de planificación de las redes eléctricas por parte de las empresas eléctricas de transmisión", culminado en agosto 2016, y contiene una serie de mejoras a las normativas actuales, para que las empresas eléctricas (redes de sub-transmisión) reporten a OSINERGMIN sus planes de inversión en infraestructura de transmisión eléctrica considerando una planificación integral y coordinada.

    ¿Revisión del marco normativo de la actividad de hidrocarburos líquidos y gas natural en el Perú", culminado en setiembre 2016, con propuestas normativas que incidirán en mejorar los marcos regulatorios en materia de producción transporte, distribución, comercialización y operación de infraestructuras esenciales de hidrocarburos líquidos y gas natural en el país, y otras normativas conducentes a desarrollar la masificación del gas natural en el país y la regulación de tarifas por el uso de las infraestructuras esenciales.

    ¿Revisión del marco regulatorio del Sector Eléctrico Peruano", culminado en diciembre 2016. El estudio propuso las pautas para realizar una reforma en el sector eléctrico peruano, y presentó un plan de implementación con un conjunto de aspectos normativos a modificar. La propuesta es orientada a evolucionar hacia un marco regulatorio moderno que incorpore las mejores prácticas internacionales y promueva la prestación de un servicio eléctrico confiable en condiciones de calidad y eficiencia, que ayude a reducir la complejidad del marco legal actual y facilite la inversión. Cabe mencionar, que este estudio revisó los estudios antes mencionados, y entre sus propuestas se encuentra la creación de una Comisión Multisectorial de naturaleza temporal encargada de elaborar la propuesta de reforma del sector eléctrico peruano.

  • Regarding the implementation of the aforementioned studies, by Ministerial Resolution No. 266-2017-MEM / DM of June 21, 2017, a Multisectorial Working Group (comprises MINEM, OSINERGMIN, and COES) was created to formulate proposals to improve the regulatory framework of the eletricity sector, presenting its Final Report within a 01 year period. OSINERGMIN foresaw the creation of Multisectorial Working Group in order to utilize the regulation proposals and recommendations from various studies of PROSEMER, and to carry out, in coordination with the MINEM, those tasks of the Implementation Plan of PROSEMER linked to the reform of the electricity sector. It should be noted that among the proposals and recommendations of the study "Review of the electricity regulatory framework of Peru" was the creation of a temporary Mulsisectorial Comission Group to be in charged of drafting the proposal of reform for the Peruvian electricity sector, and this proposal was achieved through the creation of the Multisector Working Group indicated above.
