The maxim electricity demand he has been growing up since 2004, at rates
superior to 5 %, with the exception of 2009, in which, as a consequence of
contraction in demand due to the global financial crisis, it was of 2.9 %. In 2010
the maximum demand grew up to 6,3 % and reached 4 596 MW, as it can be
appreciated in Graphic Nº 19.

1.3.13 CO 2 Emissions
Peru is a part of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
(UNFCCC) since 1992 and of the Kyoto Protocol since 2002, therefore it alines
with the Convention’s goals of stabilizing the concentration of greenhouse gases
to avoid they reach a level of dangerous anthropogenic interference. Through to
the Second National Communication presented in 2009, Peru fulfilled its
commitment to report to all countries Party of its emissions and capture levels of
Greenhouse Gases (GHG) and of the measures that have been adopted or is
considering adopting to apply the Convention. Peru assumes that this effort
should be along with a solid and ambitious international commitment. (MINAM
2009).
The inventory of Greenhouse Gases emissions (GHG) is the data base that lists by
sources the quantity of GHG emitted to the atmosphere in a determined area and
period. It is presented the National Inventory of GHG of 2000 which contains
information of GHG direct emissions: Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), Methane (CH 4 ) and
Nitrous Oxide (N 2 O) by source. The total of emissions/removals of GHG has
been 120 023 Gg of equivalent CO 2 (CO 2 eq). At the same time, it was determined
that emissions per capita in 2000 were 2,5 tons of equivalent CO 2 per year and 4,7
tons of equivalent CO 2 if it is considered the land use, change in land use and
silviculture (USCUSS). (MINAM 2009). See Chart Nº 8.
