In mid‑July 2026, Peru’s Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM) convened electricity distributors to discuss improvements in service quality and the expansion of power networks across the country. This meeting signaled the government’s focus on addressing electricity supply issues. Later that month, President Keiko Fujimori appointed Guillermo Shinno, a long‑time regulator and engineer, as the new Minister of Energy and Mines. Shinno inherits a backlog of mining projects worth about US$64 billion and ongoing social conflicts at key sites such as Las Bambas and Tía María. His appointment underscores the ministry’s broadened agenda to tackle both energy infrastructure and mining sector governance challenges. Together, the two events illustrate a coordinated governmental push to strengthen Peru’s energy distribution and resolve deep‑seated mining disputes, reflecting a continued emphasis on stabilising two vital contributors to the nation’s economy. ## Timeline ### 2026-07-28: Peru appoints Guillermo Shinno as Minister of Energy and Mines Peru’s President Keiko Fujimori named mining specialist Guillermo Shinno as Minister of Energy and Mines, tasking him with advancing stalled $64 bn projects and resolving key social conflicts at major mines. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/peru-appoints-guillermo-shinno-as-minister-of-energy-and-mines ### 2026-07-13: Peru's MINEM convenes electricity distributors to improve service and expand networks Peru's MINEM met with electricity distributors, led by Vice Minister Luis Santillán, to set a work agenda on investment, network expansion, digitalisation and service quality improvements. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/perus-minem-convenes-electricity-distributors-to-improve-service-and-expand-networks --- Cite as: Peru Energy and Mining Ministry actions.
