Natural gas expansion in Peru and Colombia

Overview

In Peru, specific infrastructure projects have been implemented to improve energy access, such as the inauguration of a natural gas connection at the Hospital IV Augusto Hernández Mendoza in Ica. This project, funded through the BonoGas Program, is expected to provide significant monthly and annual fuel savings.

However, business groups from central and southern Peruvian regions, including Cusco, Puno, Huancayo, Apurímac, and Ayacucho, have issued a joint demand for the government to prioritize the expansion of natural gas. These chambers of commerce argue that benefits from Camisea operations have not been distributed equitably, leaving many regions dependent on more expensive Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and electricity. They contend that high energy costs reduce the competitiveness of local small enterprises and affect household quality of life, calling for greater regulatory measures and infrastructure investment.
