Fuentes thnicas. Las fuentes de energia en el<br />

Perti utilizadas para la Electrificaci6n rural son:<br />

constittida por el petrbleo, para generaci6n de elec-<br />

tricidad mediante plantas diesel. Este medio de con-<br />

versi6n de energia ha sido muy utilizado debido a ias<br />

menores inversiones en equipos respect0 2 ?as inver-<br />

siones para el aprovechamiento de otras fixntes y<br />

por el bajo costo de1 <strong>com</strong>bustible hasta el sfio 1973.<br />

No obstante ser la politica energ6tir.a el utilizar en<br />

lo minim0 el petr6leo <strong>com</strong>a fuer;te de energia, hay<br />

regiones de1 ?ais, principalmente en la Selva y en<br />

localidades aisladas en donde iio hay otra alternativa<br />

que generar electricidad cpn grupos diesel. Como<br />

Energy Sources for Rural Electrification<br />

Thermal Sources. The energy sources used in<br />

Peru for :tirai electrification are pb-imariiy thermal<br />

using pstroieum fuel for electricity generation by<br />

diesel piants. This means of energy conversion<br />

has been widely used due to the fact that there<br />

are lower equipment investments when <strong>com</strong>pared<br />

to investments needed to take advantage of<br />

other sources and because of the low cost of<br />

fuel up to 1973.<br />

in spite of the government’s policy to minimize<br />

the use of petroleum fuel as energy source, there<br />

are regions in the country, especially in the<br />

jungle and in isolated <strong>com</strong>munities, where there<br />

is no alternative but to generate electricity with<br />

diesel’ powerplants. As a point of reference, .-ve<br />

want to mention that Peru’s tested petroleum<br />

reserves as of December 1979 were 586 million<br />

barrels.
