It is that generation whose source of origin is found in nature and is inexhaustible.
Which can be Renewable Energies?
- Wind Energy: Is that which is produced by wind currents. The way that is most used today to obtain energy from the wind is through self-generators.
- Solar Energy: Is that which is produced by solar radiation. It can be produced by installing solar panels in various establishments.
- Geothermal Energy: Energy is obtained by harnessing the intense heat of the earth. The most common example is through the eruption of volcanoes.
- Biomass: Is the use of organic matter as an energy source, such as firewood, the shells and seeds of nuts, and food scraps.
- Hydroelectric: For the purposes of Peruvian regulation, mini hydroelectric plants (20 MW of power): Energy is obtained thanks to the movement of water currents, such as rivers or waterfalls.
Benefits:
- Reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
- Reduce energy production costs.
- Energy is produced indefinitely.

According to the Annual Evaluation Report of the SEIN, for the year 2020 published by the COES on January 08, 2021, 10.11% of the electrical energy production in the SEIN was carried out with Renewable Source Energies, according to the following detail:
- 3.67% wind generation
- 1.58% solar generation
- 0.50% generation with bagasse
- 0.12% generation with biogas
- 4.24% generation with water
The total production of the SEIN in 2020 was 49,178.88 Gwh, of which 4,970.55 Gwh come from renewable sources.
