Sempra International plays a major role in the supply of the energy needed to support the economic growth and development of Peru.
Peru's Private Investment Promotion Agency (ProInversion) awarded Luz del Sur with a contract for the construction of the Santa Teresa 98MW run-of-river hydroelectric plant.
The plant will be located two miles up-river from the town of Santa Teresa in the Cusco region, 715 miles from Lima Peru; and will use water from Egemsa's Machupicchu hydro plant.
Luz del Sur has obtained all the permits necessary to move ahead with construction which will take 3.5 years.
