The electricity sector has experienced notable improvements in recent years. The number of homes with electric lighting grew from 82% in 2007 to 94.2% in 2016, while the quality and effectiveness of service provision also improved. Current electricity generation capacity is evenly divided between thermal energy and hydroelectric energy sources. The National Interconnected Electrical System supplies 85% of the connected population, with several isolated systems that cover the rest of the country. Peruvian electricity production totalled 5.1 TWh in the month of October 2022. Of these, 52% came from hydroelectric plants, 38.3% from thermoelectric plants (which use oil, gas and coal) and 9.7% of renewable energy plants like: wind, solar, and others.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ceicdata.com/en/indicator/peru/electricity-production|title=Peru Electricity Production, 1978 – 2023 &#124; CEIC Data|website=www.ceicdata.com|access-date=26 January 2023|archive-date=26 January 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230126153442/https://www.ceicdata.com/en/indicator/peru/electricity-production|url-status=live}}</ref>
