He added that they wanted to thank Engie. Engie offered so much support and cooperation during the whole project’s construction. The cooperation of Engie was crucial for the project’s success.
One of the biggest power generating companies in the country is Engie Energa Per. It has a total installed capacity of 2.65 GW. Also, it runs eight plants in the Lima, Moquegua, Pasco, and Ancash regions.
Eku Energy chose NHOA Energy in July 2023 to construct two new battery storage facilities in the UK with a combined capacity of 130 MWh.
The two projects, which will be built close to Loud water, Buckinghamshire, and Basildon, Essex, respectively, will make it possible for the integration of more renewable energy into the grid while offering flexibility to support the nation’s electricity system.
Interconexion Electrica recently revealed plans to invest $141 million in three power transmission lines, marking an extra step in Peru’s energy sector.
