DecarBOOST
Introduction
The Decarboost Project - Catalyzing Investments to Decarbonize Latin America and the Caribbeanis sponsored by the International Climate Initiative - IKI, funded by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety - BMU (Germany).
In its three years of implementation (2020-2023), Decarboost will provide evidence to support the creation of enabling conditions for the rapid decarbonization of the economies of Argentina, Brazil and Peru; promoting that financing flows are consistent with resilient, low-carbon development.
Led by SouthSouthNorth (South Africa), it is implemented by CentroClima-Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), Fundación Torcuato Di Tella (Argentina), Libélula Comunicación Ambiente y Desarrollo (Peru), and New Climate Institute (Germany). The project operates at two scales: national and international. In Peru, the project has prioritized the theme of Green Recovery.
As part of its activities, the Decarboost project seeks to ensure that energy planning provides basic information for decision-making in the sector, especially to achieve a sustainable energy transition. The development of this planning process must consider the decarbonization process that Peru assumes due to the commitments under the Paris Agreement. This implies including energy transformation and the role of renewable energies, energy efficiency, the role of new and renewable sources, technological development, access to energy, investment guarantees, diversification of sources and/or minimization of negative environmental effects or the resilience of the energy system to changes in the natural environment.
Therefore, the institution in charge of planning must have tools that allow them to periodically review the prospective scenarios in order to internalize changes in the context, and propose adjustments to the plans in order to achieve the long-term objectives of the energy policy. Currently, the Ministry of Energy and Mines has economic and energy information systems, as well as energy planning models and software. However, the energy planning process needs to be standardized.
In this context, the purpose of this consultancy is to develop specialized studies to formulate a regulation to govern the energy planning process.
