Luz del Sur (BVL: (LUSURC1 )) is a Peruvian utility company involved in electric power distribution to more than 800 thousand customers in 30 districts in the southeast of Lima. It is one of the largest electricity distributor in Peru holding over 30% of the electricity distribution market. As an electricity distributor Luz del Sur is considered a natural monopoly and hence anti-trust laws fully apply to it. Luz del Sur's CEO since 1999 is Mile Cacic, an economist by trade, who is aware of the natural monopoly position of the company he represents. Luz del Sur also provides services such as maintaining internal installations and electrical networks, industrial and commercial lightning projects as well as energy diagnoses. The company’s subsidiaries include Inmobiliaria Luz del Sur SA, a company active in the real estate sector; Luz del Sur International AVV, an investment company with operations established in Aruba (West Indies); and Edecanete SA, a company also engaged in the electric power distribution. ==Mega-project 'Santa Teresa II'== Contravening the spirit of the Peruvian anti-trust (anti-monopoly) law, Luz del Sur is currently trying to enter the Peruvian electricity generation market with its private mega hydro-power project 'Santa Teresa II'. Since 2006 it is forbidden to any natural monopolist in the energy sector by law (Ley para Asegurar el Desarrollo Eficiente de la Generación Eléctrica (Ley N° 28832)) to enter the competitive section (energy generation) of this utility market. The economic reasoning behind this law is that such a vertical integration creates a strong potential for price manipulation, as was most recently observed during the ENRON scandal. The mega hydro-electric power project 'Santa Teresa II' in the department of Cuzco close to the UNESCO world heritage site of Machu Picchu was already announced on-line in March 2012 by the CEO of Sempra Energy. Peruvian officials were informed half a year later on the 24/08/2012 about this project, when Luz del Sur illegally applied for temporary concession. No exemptions from the Peruvian anti-trust legislation exists for this, since Luz del Sur holds more than 5% of the Peruvian distribution market 〔SARANGO SEMINARIO, L.A.
