DESCRIPTION:
The energy sector reforms seek to improve a regulatory framework that provides predictability and legal certainty. While the focus of the first wave of reforms was to ensure energy security and fiscal stability, nowadays universal energy access and energy transition play a key role.
Considering the above, Peru created the Multisectoral Commission for the Reform of the Electricity Subsector in 2019. With the Reform, Peru is ready to keep up with the global challenges, and invites other actors to analyze, how have local and regional particularities nuanced the reform processes in other parts of the world?
KEY QUESTIONS:
1) The growing penetration of renewable energies and the decarbonization process to comply with climate agreements are driving a series of political reforms, but what institutional arrangements are necessary to guarantee the sustainability of these changes?
2) How is technology accelerating reform processes worldwide (distributed generation, storage, electromobility, digitization, etc.)?
3) What role does the consumer or prosumer play in the design of these new markets?
4) How do we ensure that reforms meet social objectives?
