Years-long decline before final shutdown · Fatal mistake: Peru cleantech: OSINERGMIN (energy regulator) required DER (Distributed Energy Resources) certification (24-month process). MINEM (Ministry of Energy) changed mining energy regulation 4 times in 3 years. 6 presidential changes disrupted MINEM leadership and clean energy procurement priorities. Enel (Italian, Lima distribution) had grid-tied solar PPP. Engie (French) had wind and solar utility-scale. No independent cleantech commercial channel.
Evaluating only CleantechPE’s profile at its peak — without knowing the outcome — the model ranked Regulation as the #1 likely cause. That’s exactly how it died.

Documented cause
CleantechPE built cleantech. OSINERGMIN DER 24 months. MINEM 4 leadership changes in 6 presidents. Enel/Engie PPPs covered primary. No independent commercial channel.
Lesson
“Peru cleantech must target industrial self-consumption solar without grid injection — zero-export solar doesn't require OSINERGMIN DER certification and serves the 500+ large mining and industrial companies with direct energy cost savings.”
