Session III: Renewable energies and their impact on the energy matrix

• Moderator – Carlos Gomero, partner of Laub & Quijandría Consultants

  

  The main speaker was Javier San Miguel Armendáriz, Manager of Strategies and business development at the National Renewable Energy Centre of Spain, q, and explained the importance and advantages of the renewable energy at international level, the difficulties and benefits that Spain has had with such energies and the perspectives of its development in Peru (See Presentation).

  According to the speaker, the importance of the renewable energies lies in such energies can be the solution for the world energy dependency in the long term since this kind of energies is evenly distributed throughout the world. His speech emphasized the following perspectives:

  • A decrease in prices of investment in wind and solar energy is expected.
  • While they are energy with a non-controllable variation, the annual cycle is constant.
  • An estimate of the cost overrun should be done to establish the target of 5% of the renewable.
  • Our regulatory framework is good for RERs: secured price as well as production.
  • Operational problems (weakness of the transmission system) and lack of reserve make RERs have operational constraints in the System.
  • The speed of the diffusion of the RERs has to be defines; to that end, they should have competitive and efficient prices for the demand. Moreover, the operational problems need to be overcome before the lack of reserves.

  This session panel was made up by:

  • Jaspal Panesar, expert in the energy sector and climate change of Chancery of UK,was the first panelist of this session and explained the energy policies that United Kingdom has been working on and the lessons that could be applied in our country. (See Presentation)

  • Cesar Butrón,President of Committee for Economic Operation of the National Interconnected System (COES), ), indicated that the regulatory framework for RERs in the Peruvian market is good as it provides greater benefits to private companies; the renewable energy operators have the priority in the energy dispatch of COES. There is lack of political decision on the facilitation for the entry and development of such projects within the Peruvian energy matrix.

  • Carlos Loret de Mola,, ex-President of National Environmental Council (CONAM), e), explained the importance of the Conference of the Parties (COP) of the Panel of UN Climate Change (scheduled for late 2014 in our country) and the need for a proper organization to achieve efficient development of the renewable energies; to that end, he proposed that Laub & Quijandría have a role prior to the preparation of such meeting on climate change.

  • Hamilton Moss, Vice President of Energy of CAF,  indicated that the big question for the development of this technology is the level of introduction as well as the pace of implementation within the energy matrix. Additionally, he explained how the renewable energies have been developed in Brazil; those types of energy were developed as a result of energy crisis that Brazil went through some time ago.
