Power Plants in Peru

Peru has 169 power plants mapped on the OverWatts open energy atlas — the 25th-largest fleet of the 155 countries that hold any, and 0.6% of the world's mapped total. Of these, 44 operating and 124 under construction or proposed. Operating generation capacity totals 14.3 GW across 44 utility-scale plants of 100 MW and above. The largest is Manseriche hydroelectric plant (7.5 GW).

The largest owner-operators are Enel Generación Perú SAA (12), Kallpa Generación SA (12) and ENGIE Energía Perú SA (9) — Enel Generación Perú SAA alone is named on 7% of them. Half of Peru's power plants in service predate 2014 (median commissioning year of the 44 with a known date), 17 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Yaupi hydroelectric plant, dating from 1957. 124 are in the pipeline, led by Manseriche hydroelectric plant (7.5 GW), proposed. They account for 81% of every energy asset OverWatts maps in Peru.
