Peru — Energy Infrastructure

OverWatts maps 209 energy assets in Peru across 10 layers — the 43rd-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 169 power plants, 10 pipelines and 10 oil & gas fields. Operating generation capacity is 14.3 GW, led by gas at 49%. Refining capacity is about 95 kb/d.

The companies named on the most assets are Enel Generación Perú SAA (12), Kallpa Generación SA (12) and ENGIE Energía Perú SA (9), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Peru's mapped assets in service predate 2008 (median commissioning year of the 73 with a known date), 21 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Atocongo Cement Plant, dating from 1916. 40+ projects are under construction or proposed, led by Manseriche hydroelectric plant (7.5 GW).
