Peru. Status: operational.
Wholesale design: COES centrally dispatches the system on audited variable costs. The short-term market settles energy and capacity, while bilateral contracts serve regulated and free customers.
Mercado Mayorista de Electricidad (Peru SEIN) has 5 ancillary-service products, across 5 families — frequency containment, automatic frequency restoration, contingency reserve, reactive power & voltage and black start & restoration: Arranque Autónomo / Restablecimiento, Reserva de Emergencia no Sincronizada, Reserva Rotante para Regulación Primaria de Frecuencia, Reserva Rotante para Regulación Secundaria de Frecuencia, Regulación de Tensión / Potencia Reactiva. Response timing, direction and eligibility for each are in the table below; a product's full record lists the official sources behind it.
Every value below comes from the official sources listed in that product's full record. Most products cite more than one, and the published sources do not say which of them states each individual value, so the binding is to the product's record rather than to a single document. A missing line means the source does not state that value — never that the value is zero.

Mercado Mayorista de Electricidad (Peru SEIN) has 1 capacity/adequacy arrangement: Remuneración de Potencia / Potencia Firme. The official sources do not say whether it is a central capacity market. Responsibility sits with COES / Osinergmin.
operational
The short-term market includes regulated capacity valuation and transfers; it is not a centralized capacity auction.
