Abstract

In this paper some aspects of the deregulated Peruvian electric power system are analyzed with emphasis on transmission services and congestion problems in the operation and planning. The deregulation process of the Peruvian electric sector was started in 1992 when the Electric Concessions Law (LCE) was enacted. The LCE and its rules separate the activities of the electric sector in generation, transmission and distribution. According to the LCE the generation sector is competitive while the transmission system, which is composed of the main and secondary systems, is defined as a private monopoly regulated by the Energy Tariffs Commission. Despite the relative success in the generation and distribution sectors, in the transmission sector the open access rules and the prices signals for the transmission expansion have caused some controversies between the participant agents of the electricity market; some of them are considered in this work
