During the 1960’s, the Peruvian electric generation was in the hands of the private sector; during these times companies worked by temporary concessions and limited supply capacity, preventing the service to reach the most remote places of the country. In 1972, Electroperú was formed as the first power generation company owned by the State. As a result of strong investments by State in this area, the generation capacity significantly increased through the implementation of large projects. In 1992, came into force the Electrical Concessions Law 25844 (still effective today) from which the first reforms to govern the electricity sector activities and businesses, such as the elimination of the monopoly exercised by the government on the whole activity from generation to energy sales, breaking it down into three basic pillars: (a) generation, (b) transmission, and (c) distribution. The activity or sector of electricity generation in Peru is growing along side by side with Peruvian economy, but it is believed that in the coming years will be difficult to meet the growing demand if more projects are not plan and develop, especially in northern or southern regions. Most power plants are located in the center of the country, and by 2013 concentrated 60 % of capacity. Strategic planning in this paper focuses on the importance of increasing the power generation capacity in the country as well as decentralize and diversify the energy matrix, which now is basically hydro and thermal. It also aimed to reduce unmet demand, increase the average revenues of the top companies in the sector and reduce forced outages or interruptions. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of maintaining high standards of social responsibility and respect for the environment. Finally, while the present strategic planning is based more on the domestic market to ensure supply of the growing demand, an opportunity to export electricity to neighboring countries, for which the sector must work hand in hand with the state identified to achieve bilateral agreements and alliances with transmission companies to permit adequate distribution channel
