Cálidda also announced gradual reconnection of industrial users. Medium-scale industries, particularly in health, food production, and basic goods manufacturing, regained over 50% service by mid-March. Large industrial consumers and electrical generators began full reactivation from March 13 afternoon into March 14. The government emphasized prioritizing essential services during the phased restoration.
The crisis response included daily crisis committee meetings and close private-public sector collaboration. President José María Balcázar and Cabinet President Denisse Miralles praised the swift government and industry reaction. The restoration has enabled the resumption of normal school activities and public transport operations. Cálidda affirmed ongoing commitment to responsible and equitable distribution, underscoring that while the emergency was unrelated to its operations, it coordinated fully with authorities.
The return to stable GNV supply contributes to alleviating transport sector pressures, may suppress fuel costs inflated by emergency measures, and supports Lima’s energy-dependent industries. With infrastructure now confirmed operational, market conditions for Peru’s urban transit and industrial energy users are expected to stabilize.
