The aim of this work consists in studying the legal aspects of the monitoring task on the wholesale electricity market that Law 28832 and its regulations have assigned to the Economic Operation Committee of the National Interconnected Electric System of Peru (COES). Thus, we analyze the relevance of the competition surveillance in such a strategic and vital sector for every country as the electric is and the COES’ role as Peruvian government collaborator. Moreover, we describe the indicators usually used to measure the competition level within the electricity market and the ones approved by OSINERGMIN in 2017.Likewise, and considering the silence to this respect of the legislation’s statements of reasons and support reports, we answer why the monitoring function must fall to COES, concluding that it is justified in its closeness to the monitored agents. Precisely, this constant relat...

El objetivo del presente trabajo consiste en estudiar las implicancias jurídicas de la función de monitoreo del mercado mayorista eléctrico que la Ley 28832 y sus reglamentos han asignado al Comité de Operación Económica del Sistema Eléctrico Interconectado Nacional del Perú (COES). Así, se analiza la importancia de la vigilancia de la competencia en un sector estratégico y vital para cualquier país como el eléctrico y el rol del COES como colaborador del Estado peruano. Por su parte, se describen los indicadores que normalmente son utilizados para medir el nivel de competencia en el mercado eléctrico y los que aprobó OSINERGMIN el 2017. Asimismo, y ante el silencio al respecto de las exposiciones de motivos y de los informes de sustento de la normativa, se responde a por qué la función de monitoreo debe recaer en el COES, concluyéndose que ello se encuentra justificado ...

En el presente artículo, caracterizamos al Procedimiento Administrativo Trilateral como un medio para que las empresas o agentes del sector eléctrico peruano puedan solucionar sus controversias. Para ello, es necesario echar un vistazo a las posibles causas que pueden originar conflictos en el sector, y las vías por las que se puede tramitar su solución. Entre esas vías, es de interés para este trabajo la que ha ideado el Derecho Administrativo peruano –el Procedimiento Administrativo Trilateral–, que se erige en el sector eléctrico a través de la función de solución de controversias de OSINERGMIN, y que es ejercida por sus órganos resolutivos. En tal sentido, analizamos dicha función, su justificación, y los límites de la competencia de OSINERGMIN para ejercerla, tanto en lo relativo a las materias que pueden ser conocidas por la entidad, como en lo que respecta a su r...

In this paper, the author states that every lawyer should be compelled to denounce before the corresponding bar association or the judge the cases of abuse of process that damages clients, so the (bad) lawyer, who is behind of these practices, can be punished. The author remarks the fact that, although judges and bar associations are the main protagonists in the punishment of abuse of process, the recognition of this lawyer’s duty can contribute to clients’ rights protection and the consolidation of rule of law. From this perspective, the author proposes that every abuse of process circumstance is perpetrated because a lawyer incited it or because he or she consented it; for this reason, a (bad) lawyer will always be the one who caused the abuse. Precisely, one “remedy” for a lawyer involved in these practices consists in recognize the duty of a...

Regulation   and   regulatory   agencies   have   aninfluence on the economy and on the legal system ofa country. In this context, which are the challengesof regulatory agencies in developing countries, forexample, Peru? What is their relation with foreign investment? In a context of financial crisis, which isthe role that these agencies should play?THĒMIS-Law Review had the opportunity to briefly interview one of the more recognized and consulted experts in Regulation, who provided answers to the questions indicated above.

In this paper, the technical, financial and legal feasibility of employing solar cogeneration for the food industry sector in Peru will be demonstrated. In consequence, we will quantify the electric and thermal energy obtained from a conventional Rankine cycle, with the particularity that the water used to condense the steam that exits the turbine will be employed for the required processes in the industrial plants, because of the high temperature obtained from the heat exchange with the steam. In addition, we will detail the processes in which the obtained energy will be employed, the quantity of devices to be used in this system, as well as the required specifications and the thermodynamic parameters, for a proper operation of the cogeneration system. Moreover, we will prove the legal feasibility of choosing a solar cogeneration system in the Peruvian legal system, and, in ...

Mediante la investigación que da origen a este artículo se busca demostrar la viabilidad técnica, financiera y legal del uso de la cogeneración solar para el sector de industrias alimentarias en nuestro país; para esto se procederá con una cuantificación de la energía eléctrica y térmica obtenida mediante un ciclo Rankine convencional, con la particularidad de que el agua usada para condensar el vapor saliente de la turbina será utilizada para los procesos requeridos en las plantas industriales, debido a la elevada temperatura obtenida del intercambio térmico con el vapor. Todo ello se realizará detallando los procesos en los que se aprovechará la energía obtenida y la cantidad de equipos a utilizar en este sistema, así como las especificaciones necesarias y parámetros termodinámicos para el correcto funcionamiento del sistema de cogeneración. Además, demos...
