Ayanunga hydro plant

active

The project entails the development of a run-of-river hydropower plant with installed capacity of 20 MW. Once completed the plant will be able to generate over 130 GWh per year, equivalent to the annual consumption needs of over 105,000 Peruvian households. Enel, through its renewable energy subsidiary Enel Green Power Peru (EGPP), will build the Ayanunga hydro plant, located in the Monzón district in the Peruvian region of Huánuco. The project is supported by a 20-year energy supply contract signed with Peru’s Ministry of Energy and Mines that was won in 2016 as par of a competitive bidding process based on lowest tariff (fourth public renewable energy tender launched by the Peruvian energy regulator OSINERGMIN.) Enel will be investing around $50 million in the construction of Ayanunga plant. Financing details are currently not available, but most likely Enel will fund the project with its own resources. Ayanunga is expected to enter into service by the end of 2018. https://corporate.enel.it/en/media/press/d201708-enel-starts-construction-of-ayanunga-hydro-plant-in-peru.html http://www.hydroworld.com/articles/2016/02/enel-enters-peru-with-20-mw-ayanunga-hydropower-plant.html
