Abstract

The objective of this research is to analyze the redistribution of firm capacity that generation plants will have with non-conventional renewable energy resources in accordance with the new regulatory framework and their participation in the maximum demand of the system in the Peruvian electricity market. For this new firm capacity, the calculation method is described, which is determined by the market administrator and considered in the settlements of the valuations of capacity transfers, based on their participation in the maximum demand within the peak hour of the system. The peak hours of the electricity system should serve to introduce incentive mechanisms for the expansion and/or diversification of the system's generating park with RER technology that allow for virtual energy independence, reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, in addition to diversifying the matrix energetic. In December 2021, a maximum firm power of 95.36 MW was obtained for wind power plants and 1.67 MW for solar power plants. These powers were considered in the settlement of transfer valuations to determine the income per power; which marked less income for the rest of the conventional plants. With the application of the new regulations, the RER plants have a share in the revenue pool for firm power, resulting in a range of 29% to 43% of this amount. Of the total stock of income from firm power amounting to S/133,990,513, it corresponded to wind and solar power plants S/ 3,714,050, which represents 2.77% The participation in the valuation of transfers by power in the market was that wind power plants were in the range of 29% to 43%, while solar power plants did so in the order of 1% to 4%
