Recently, Peru performed a study that confirmed a large-scale geothermal system in the southern Andes near the Chilean border. The Geophysical Institute confirmed the existence of a large-scale geothermal system on the Chilean border. The study was conducted using a magnetotelluric method, a technology that produces a subsurface image by measuring natural electromagnetic fields. This

Recently, a gas pipeline in Peru ruptured and exposed a structural vulnerability in Peru’s gas-to-power value chain. The 730 km duct transports Camisea gas and natural gas liquids from the Amazon to Lima on the coast. This exposes risks tied to reliance on the transport system and fuels arguments for new pipelines and development of

Heavy rainfall in Peru caused significant flooding when major riverbanks overflowed. Flooding poses risks to electrical infrastructure like substations and power distribution networks. Severe rainfall, landslides, and flooding can interrupt power delivery over extensive areas. Increasing water levels may impact electrical substations containing transformers, switchgear, busbars, protection relays, and control systems. This leads to short

Chile is shifting the emphasis from the previous 25 GW electrolysis capacity by 2030 to a production-volume target of about 900,000 tonnes per year by 2035. This shift broadens focus from pure production capacity to consumption and export objectives. The change reflects slower global market uptake, higher capital and operating costs for electrolysis, and investor
