The Peruvian electricity sector is among the few in Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) that has not confronted a crisis in recent years. The power sector in Peru was reformed and restructured between 1991 and 1993, followed by a privatization and concession process. A modern legal and regulatory framework was established in the electricity concessions law of 1992-93. This report contains the following chapters: (1) introduction; (2) resource potential and technical capacity for development of small hydropower in Peru; (3) economic and financial viability of small hydro development in Peru; (4) institutional and regulatory environment; (5) identification of barriers to small hydropower development and mitigation measures; (6) international experience with small hydropower development; and finally (7) conclusions and recommendations.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACIDACID RAINAFFORDABLE ENERGYAIRAIR POLLUTIONAIR POLLUTION PROBLEMSAPPROACHAVAILABILITYBALANCEBASESBENEFITS OF HYDROPOWERBIOGASBOILERCANALCANALSCAPACITY FACTORCARBONCARBON CREDITSCARBON DIOXIDECARBON EMISSIONSCARBON FINANCECARBON FUNDCARBON MARKETCARBON OFFSETSCARBON PRICECARBON PRICESCARBON REVENUESCERTIFIED EMISSION REDUCTIONCLEAN DEVELOPMENTCLEAN ENERGYCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECO2COALCOLORSCOMBUSTIONCONSTRUCTION COSTCOST OF CARBONCOST OF GASDAMDAMSDEVELOPMENT OF HYDROPOWERDISTRIBUTION NETWORKELECTRICITYELECTRICITY CONSUMPTIONELECTRICITY DEMANDELECTRICITY GENERATIONELECTRICITY PRICEEMISSIONEMISSION FACTOREMISSION TRADINGENERGY EXPERTSENERGY LOSSESENERGY NEEDSENERGY PLANNERSENERGY POLICIESENERGY POLICYENERGY PRICEENERGY PRODUCTIONENERGY SECTORENERGY SECURITYENERGY SERVICESENERGY SOURCESENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONSENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENTSENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTFLOODSFLOW DATAFORESTSFOSSILFRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGEFRANCIS TURBINESFUELFUEL COSTFUEL SWITCHINGGAS FIELDSGAS PRICEGAS TRANSMISSIONGAS TURBINEGENERATIONGENERATION CAPACITYGENERATION SYSTEMSGHGGLOBAL ENVIRONMENT FACILITYGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GASESHEADHEADSHEATHEAT GENERATIONHEAT RATEHYDRAULIC STRUCTURESHYDRO DEVELOPMENTHYDRO GENERATIONHYDRO POTENTIALHYDRO POWERHYDRO PROJECTHYDRO PROJECTSHYDRO RESOURCEHYDRO RESOURCESHYDRO SYSTEMSHYDRO TARIFFHYDRO TARIFFSHYDROELECTRIC PLANTHYDROELECTRIC POTENTIALHYDROELECTRIC POWERHYDROELECTRIC POWER PLANTHYDROELECTRIC POWER PLANTSHYDROELECTRIC RESOURCESHYDROLOGICAL INFORMATIONHYDROLOGICAL RISKSHYDROLOGYHYDROMETRYHYDROPOWERHYDROPOWER ASSOCIATIONHYDROPOWER CAPACITYHYDROPOWER COUNCILHYDROPOWER DEVELOPMENTHYDROPOWER DEVELOPMENTSHYDROPOWER GENERATIONHYDROPOWER PLANTHYDROPOWER PLANTSHYDROPOWER POTENTIALHYDROPOWER PROJECTHYDROPOWER PROJECTSHYDROPOWER RESOURCESHYDROPOWER SCHEMESHYDROPOWER SECTORHYDROPOWER STATIONSINDEPENDENT POWER PRODUCERINDUSTRIAL WATER SUPPLYINTERNATIONAL HYDROPOWER ASSOCIATIONIRRIGATIONLAKESLANDFILLLANDFILL GASLARGE HYDRO PROJECTSLARGE HYDROPOWERLARGE POWER PLANTSLIQUEFACTIONLIQUEFIED NATURAL GASLNGLNG PROJECTLOAD FACTORLOAD FACTORSMETEOROLOGICAL STATIONSMETEOROLOGYMILL EFFLUENTNATIONAL GRIDNATURAL GASNATURAL GAS PRICESNATURAL RESOURCESNOXOILOIL COMPANYPARTICULATEPIPELINEPOLLUTANTSPOLLUTIONPOLLUTION CONTROLPOTENTIAL FOR HYDROPOWERPOTENTIAL HYDROPOWERPOWER GENERATIONPOWER PLANT EMISSIONSPOWER PLANT TECHNOLOGYPOWER PLANTSPOWER PRODUCERPOWER PRODUCTIONPOWER SECTORPOWER SECTOR EMISSIONSPOWER STATIONPOWER STATIONSPOWER SYSTEMPRECIPITATIONPRICE OF GASRENEWABLE ELECTRICITYRENEWABLE ENERGIESRENEWABLE ENERGYRENEWABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENTRENEWABLE ENERGY FACILITIESRENEWABLE ENERGY GENERATIONRENEWABLE ENERGY POLICIESRENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCESRENEWABLE ENERGY SUPPLYRENEWABLE ENERGY TARIFFRENEWABLE TECHNOLOGIESRESERVOIRRESERVOIRSRESETTLEMENTRIVERRIVER BASINRIVER BASINSRIVERSRUN-OF-RIVER PROJECTSRURAL ELECTRIFICATIONSEDIMENTSMALL HYDROSMALL HYDRO PLANTSSMALL HYDROPOWERSOURCE OF ENERGYSPOT MARKETSPOT PRICESTABLE PRICESSULFURSULFUR EMISSIONSSUPPLY CURVESUSTAINABLE HYDROPOWERTARIFF LEVELSTAX CREDITTAX INCENTIVESTHERMAL PLANTTHERMAL UNITTRANSMISSION LINETRANSMISSION LINESTURBINETURBINE MANUFACTURERSTURBINESUTILITIESVOLTAGEWATER FLOWWATER QUALITYWATER RESOURCES DEVELOPMENTWATER RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT PROJECTSWATER RIGHTSWATER SUPPLYWINDWIND ENERGY10.1596/17500
