Proposal for Implementation of Induction Stoves for Electrification of the Peruvian Energy Matrix

The objective of this research was to estimate the percentage of electrification of the Peruvian Energy Matrix. It based on the intention for change of an LPG user. The chosen of use induction stoves instead of gas stoves were based on the five fundamental aspects of the efficient energy transition: affordability, competitiveness, efficiency, environmental sustainability, and safety, and not for dogmatism or chosen by a committee. The results showed that the induction cookstove, based on the selection criteria of the best cooking technology, is the most affordable, competitive, efficient, clean and safe in Peru. Also, using electricity for cooking, with special rate, will allow the residential user to have 44% of economic savings compared to a 10kg LPG cylinder. In this way, according to the calculations done in this investigation, the Peruvian Energy Matrix (final consumption) will have 28% of electrification level (use of electricity) and the rate of electrification of end use in buildings will be 77%.
