Description
Description | The Poechos Hydropower Project aims to facilitate investments in the Peruvian power sector that contribute to certified emission reductions in global greenhouse gases. Initially these investments will support a small hydropower project totalling 15.4 MW of capacity. Additional small hydro projects and other projects are to be determined. The project has two components: One increases hydropower generation. The main civil works to be built are the intake and forced pipes, the machine house, the discharge canal, 100 m of access roads, and 38 km of transmission lines. The project is expected to generate about 60 GWh of electrical energy per year, to be sold to a concessionary for energy distribution in northwest Peru. The second component finances carbon purchases and includes cost recovery. |
