ENGIE to build more than 400 km of new power transmission lines in Peru

ENGIE was awarded four major power transmission projects in Peru for a 30-year concession, following a tender process promoted by ProInversión under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) framework. Together, they include the construction of more than 400 kilometers of new transmission lines, the development of six new substations, and the expansion of ten existing substations.  

Located across the regions of Piura, Lambayeque, Junín, and Ayacucho, key areas of northern and central Peru, the awarded projects include the 500 kV Miguel Grau–Pariñas Transmission Line, the 220 kV Felam–Tierras, Nuevas–Salitral  and  Muyurina–Mollepata Transmission Lines and the new 220/60 kV Palián Substation, among other associated infrastructure. 

Representing an investment of more than US$230 million, these projects will help strengthen Peru’s electricity network, improve system reliability, and support the integration of renewable energy sources. Expected to begin commercial operation in 2031, they will benefit approximately 1.6 million people. With these new projects, ENGIE will reach approximately 650 kilometers of transmission lines in operation or under development across the country.

This achievement strengthens the Group’s presence in a strategic market and confirms its leading position in power infrastructure in Latin America. It builds on a momentum of sustained growth, notably illustrated by the successes achieved in Brazil during the ANEEL tender in March 2026, where ENGIE was awarded several power transmission projects.  Today, ENGIE owns and operates 6,000 km of transmission lines and 55 substations across Latin America, with an additional 1,600 km lines and 25 substations currently under construction. The Group aims to reach   10,000 km of transmission lines in operation by 2030.  

“ The energy transition depends not only on expanding renewable power generation but also on developing the infrastructure needed to deliver clean, reliable and affordable electricity. We are proud of this new award, which reflects ENGIE’s strategy to invest in critical and regulated energy infrastructure, strengthens our ambition to build a significant portfolio of power transmission projects, and reinforces our commitment to accelerating the energy transition in Peru and, more broadly, across Latin America . ” said Rosaline Corinthien, ENGIE’s Executive Vice President in charge of Power Networks activities.
