PERÚ - Observatory for Renewable Energy in Latin America and

Perú- Products I and II
Regarding stations of supirior capacity to 20 MW, Peru has 45 stations with a
total installed capacity of 6 294 MW. This group consits of: 21 Hydroelectric
Power Stations and 24 Thermal Power Stations with a total capacity of 2 927 MW
and 3 367 MW, respectively. Of the thermal power stations mentioned previously,
9 operate with natural gas (2 443 MW), 1 with coal (142 MW), 1 with bagasse
(23 MW) and 13 with liquid fuels (759 MW) 10 . (MEM, 2009b).
The Chart Nº 46, shows the most representative power generation stations that
operate in the SEIN.

From now on, it is shown the information corresponding to the Hydroelectric
Power Stations “Santiago Antúnez de Mayolo”, “Restitución” and “El Platanal”.
These are Hydroelectric Power Stations that operate on basis. The Hydroelectric

11 The third turbine started its operation with simple cycle. Nowadays, it has been developed the
convertion project of the station into a combined cycle power station, thus expects to increase its total
capacity on about 850.70 MW and enter into commercial transaction with this new technology before the
second quarter of 2012.
