Leveraging significant expertise gained from key positions at OSINERGMIN's regulatory desk, UL Energía e Infraestructura boasts a strong and capable team that advises both electricity companies and regulators on contentious and non-contentious matters related to electricity generation and transmission projects. The group's capabilities extend to drafting reports on the Peruvian regulatory framework for complementary services, ensuring the viability of electricity service provision in Peru, and navigating the general regulations of the Peruvian electricity sector. The practice is led by Ricardo Leyva, who draws on his previous experience at OSINERGMIN and the Ministry of Energy and Mining of Peru. Newly promoted partner Héctor Quispe Huamán handles regulatory, contractual, and investment matters in the energy sector, especially in the power generation, transmission and distribution segments; while associate Nelson Paredes Cruz is another key contact for matters related to the supply, transportation and distribution of natural gas.
