In Peru, there are no government-funded and sponsored schemes aimed at improving the energy efficiency of existing buildings. In 2000, the government enacted Law No. 27345 to promote the efficient use of energy. In alignment with this law, the Peruvian government actively encouraged energy-saving initiatives within the public sector. These efforts included replacing less efficient incandescent lamps with compact fluorescent lamps and procuring equipment bearing energy efficiency labels.

Subsequently, in September 2009, the Ministry of Energy and Mines (MEM) released the Referential Plan for the Efficient Use of Energy spanning from 2009 to 2018. This plan serves as the primary tool to realize the country’s energy efficiency objectives, outlining specific action plans tailored to each sector. It features an in-depth analysis of Peru’s energy efficiency landscape, pinpointing sector-specific programs essential for meeting the set targets. In November 2010, the National Energy Police for 2010-2040 was published. Its main objective is to implement an energy system that meets the national energy demand in a reliable, regular, continuous and efficient manner. It promotes sustainable development and is based on planning and continuous technological research and innovation, subject to various policy guidelines.
