Osinergmin

What Osinergmin does

Osinergmin (Organismo Supervisor de la Inversión en Energía y Minería) is the Peruvian government regulatory agency with exclusive statutory authority to regulate and supervise companies operating in the electricity, hydrocarbons, and mining sectors. Founded in 1996 and headquartered in Magdalena del Mar, Lima, the agency fixes electricity and natural gas transportation tariffs, enforces technical and safety standards, administers the Hydrocarbons Registry, and operates consumer protection mechanisms including a Virtual Claims Book. Its mandate covers generation, transmission, distribution, and commercialization in electricity; exploration through commercialization in hydrocarbons (fuels, LPG, natural gas, GNV, GNC, GNL); and geomechanics, geotechnics, ventilation, and processing operations in mining.

The agency operates a portfolio of integrated digital platforms underpinning its regulatory workflow. Core systems include SICOES for the registration and contracting of supervisory companies, SCOP for hydrocarbon control and operations, the Registro de Hidrocarburos for sector company registration, the Modelo Perseo 2.0 technical model for tariff calculation, and Ventanilla Virtual for electronic administrative procedures. Consumer-facing platforms include Facilito, which provides real-time fuel pricing data, and the Virtual Claims Book. Distribution is principally digital via the gob.pe/osinergmin portal and sector-specific portals for electricity, hydrocarbons, natural gas, mining, and renewable energy, supported by a 24/7 WhatsApp line, telephone support, and a physical office in Lima.

Osinergmin is a non-profit state entity funded through the "aporte por regulación" — regulatory fees paid by supervised companies across the three sectors — and not through commercial sales. Its customer base consists of supervised entities (electricity, hydrocarbon, and mining companies) and Peruvian citizens as beneficiaries of its consumer protection and price transparency functions. Notable evidence of operating scale includes a recent dispute with Promigas over natural gas tariff setting (US$14.66 per million BTU) and an international cooperation agreement with the Republic of Korea announced in July 2026 to strengthen mining safety supervision.
