Acciona Secures Environmental Approval for Two High-Voltage Transmission Projects in Peru
Acciona has received environmental approval from Peru's Ministry of Energy and Mines to construct two high-voltage transmission lines. The projects, Caclic-Jaén Norte Link and Ica-Poroma Link, will enhance electricity grid reliability across Cajamarca, Amazonas, Ica, Nasca, and Palpa regions over a 30-year concession period. The Caclic-Jaén project includes building new infrastructure to support the Bagua-Jaén Electricity System. It involves constructing approximately 180km of transmission lines and expanding existing facilities near several rural communities in Cajamarca. The Ica-Poroma initiative will add over 100km of 220kV lines, expand substations, and facilitate increased renewable energy integration. Together, the projects are expected to benefit around 370,000 people by improving regional electricity transmission capacity and supporting economic development. The Ica-Poroma line will also integrate with existing power plants like Punta Lomitas and Dunas as well as future expansions of Peru's National Interconnected Electricity System (SEIN).
