| Project Brief | Andean Power S.A.C. constructed the Carhuac HPP from year 2016 to 2018 with the aim to produce electricity and feed it into the Peruvian national grid. The Project Activity uses proven technologies for hydroelectric energy generation, is a new run-of-river, involving no dams nor impounding of water, and was designed for minimal environmental impact. It employs two turbines and has a total nominal power capacity of 20 MW. The annual electricity production is expected to be 108,793 MWh (incl. transmission losses) and the estimated annual emission reductions are around 49,877 tCO2. |
