["Renewables"]
["Are the production and/or use of renewable energy sources subject to a national subsidy or similar support scheme?","Yes, there are two strategies to support the use and production of renewable energy. \n(I) \nLegislative Decree Nº 1058 published on June 28, 2008, sets forth that the activity of electrical generation based on water resources or other renewable resources, such as wind, solar, geothermal or biomass, will have the benefit from the accelerated depreciation regime for income tax purposes.\nThe accelerated depreciation is applicable to machines, equipment, and civil works required for the setup and operation of the renewable energy plants, which are acquired and/or built as of the effective date of this legislative decree. For these purposes, the annual rate of depreciation shall not exceed twenty percent (20%) as a global annual tax rate.\nBy \nLaw Nº 30327, published on May 21, 2015, this tax benefit has been extended until December 31, 2025.\n(II) \nLegislative Decree No. 1002 published on May 1, 2008, encourages the use of Renewable Energy Resources (\"\nRER\") by promoting investment in electricity production through auctions for their contract award. The generation of electricity from \nRER awarded through these auctions will have priority for the daily dispatch of the electric charge made by the Peruvian Committee for Economic Operation of the Electrical System (\"\nCOES\") as well as a fixed quota in the electricity market and a guaranteed income through rates that will remain stable.\nIt is important to note that, even though there have been four auctions for \nRER since 2016 no further calls for these auctions have been made (even though \nLegislative Decree states that these will be made every two years). Among other reasons for this suspension, the Peruvian government alleges that since the costs for certain \nRER technologies have decreased through the years, the subsidy is no longer needed. However, even though the price for some \nRER technologies has decreased, this is not applicable to all \nRER technologies.\n"]
