Background

The Chimbote steel mill began operating under state ownership in April 1958, when Peru's president inaugurated the plant's DRI (iron reduction), steel-making and laminating facilities.[1] The company was privatized in 1996 and passed into the hands of its current majority owner, the Brazilian steelmaker Gerdau, in 2006.[2][3]

In 2008, Gerdau announced plans to increase steel production at the plant from 450,000 tpa (tonnes per annum) to 3 million tpa by 2013.[4] However, as of early 2021, the plant's production capacities for crude steel and rolled products were only 750,000 tpa[5] and 573,000 tpa[2], respectively, and the plant's iron-making capacity of 400,000 tpa had been temporarily idled.[2]

1958[6] 774[7] Enel Perú and SIDERPERU, a Gerdau company, signed a 12-year energy supply contract through which the electricity company will supply energy from its renewable plants to the operation of the steel mill. This alliance, which will last for more than a decade, involves part of the energy that will be produced by Enel's next non-conventional renewable energy plants: Wayra Extension wind power plant and Clemesi solar plant.[8][9]
