Figure 3 – Load Match Profile: Geothermal (Base) vs. Variable Renewables. The black dashed line represents constant mining demand (24h). The green area shows stable geothermal contribution, contrasting with solar intermittency (orange) and wind variability (blue)). 4.2.1 Distance Matrix and Transmission Euclidean proximity analysis (Table 5) confirms the logistical viability of two energy corridors, where distances less than 60 km in the Tacna-Moquegua cluster minimize transmission costs. Table 5 – Linear Distance Matrix between Geothermal Zones and Mining Operations (km). Geothermal Zone Res. Temp. To Toquepa la (Tacna) To Quellavec o (Moqueg ua) To Cuajone (Moqueg ua) To Cerro Verde (Arequipa) 1. Tutupaca 185°C ~ 25 km ~ 28 km ~ 36 km ~ 145 km 2. Calientes 240°C ~ 50 km ~ 55 km ~ 63 km ~ 170 km 3. Borateras 250-275° C ~ 95 km ~ 100 km ~ 110 km ~ 220 km 4. Ancocollo 180-230° C ~ 75 km ~ 80 km ~ 90 km ~ 200 km 5. Chungara 200°C ~ 120 km ~ 125 km ~ 135 km ~ 240 km 6. Achumani 250-300° C ~ 207 km ~ 194 km ~ 183 km ~ 100 km 135
