Our subsidiary, Luz del Sur, is the largest electricity distribution company in Peru in terms of energy sales. The company holds an exclusive concession for electricity distribution in the southern half of Lima province and Cañete province in Peru. Luz del Sur's concession area spans approximately 1,160 square miles and includes important commercial and residential areas in the capital city. The concession area includes over 3.5 million inhabitants, approximately 13% of Peru's total population. Luz del Sur provides electricity to more than 800,000 clients. The company has significantly reduced energy losses, both from theft and technical factors, and has invested heavily in expanding and modernizing its infrastructure over the last ten years. Peruvian power distribution companies are required to provide services within their concession area at applicable tariffs to public service customers. Concession licenses have no expiration dates. Luz del Sur operates under a four-year tariff review cycle. Luz del Sur's last review was in 2009. Rates are regulated through an autonomous technical agency, Gerencia Adjunta de Regulación Tarifaria, or GART. The tariff includes two major components: (i) a capacity and energy charge, which is passed through to the end customer and (ii) a value-added distribution charge, which includes regulated returns on assets, operating and maintenance charges and an allowance for distribution losses. In between tariff review periods, the value-added distribution component is adjusted periodically by reference to a tariff index. Contact Luz del Sur: Luz del Sur S.A.A.
