en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Ministry of Energy and Mines of Peru (Ministerio de Energía y Minas del Perú) has approved the transfer of 14,802,469.59 soles to Adinelsa to finance the execution of the "Cajatambo Ámbar 22.9 kV PSE Primary Line Improvement and Interconnection with Caral PSE Project."

This strategic project aims to strengthen electricity infrastructure in the regions of Lima and Áncash, directly benefiting over 26,000 Peruvians living in rural areas. The measure was formalized through Ministerial Resolution No. 096-2026-MINEM/DM, with the primary objective of upgrading existing infrastructure to provide electricity supply with high quality and reliability standards for communities served by the rural electricity system.

The project marks a shift in the region's energy management approach, upgrading from isolated power generation sources to interconnection with the National Interconnected Electricity System (SEIN). This change optimizes the use of water resources at the Gorgor hydroelectric plant, enabling water resources to serve both power generation and agricultural activities throughout the year, and promotes a cleaner energy mix by reducing the use of backup thermal generation. The new infrastructure is designed to ensure operational continuity under any climate scenario, providing greater stability to the system. The transition from current backup generation to eventual interconnection with COES (Economic Load Dispatch Committee) guarantees a more efficient and secure energy source, enabling local families and businesses to access permanent, high-capacity electricity services.

Interconnection with the SEIN will optimize system operation, ensuring safer, more continuous, and efficient service. This intervention is one of the actions promoted by the state under the framework of Law No. 28749 to close gaps and create new development opportunities in rural areas and regions of priority social interest. Through this initiative, Adinelsa is committed to continuing to provide safe, high-quality electricity to remote areas of Peru, contributing to sustainable development and improving residents' quality of life by strengthening the electricity infrastructure it manages and enhancing service continuity indicators.
