Coal Consumption
Peru ranked 70th in the world for coal consumption in 2016 with a total of 1,267,657 tons.[1] The country's lone coal-fired power plant, Ilo 21 power station, is scheduled to close by December 2022 as part of owner Engie's broader decarbonization strategy.[4][5][6]
Imports & source countries
In 2016, Peru was importing nearly 40% of the coal it consumed.[1]
Proposed coal plants
- The Eten power station is a 200 MW thermoelectric power plant planned for Eten, in the northern region of Lambayeque, Peru. The Peruvian authorities have awarded a 20-year concession contract for the design, construction, and operation of the plant to a consortium comprising the Ministry of Energy and Mining and a special purpose company established by Cobra and Enersa. The investment is estimated at approximately US$113 million, with operations beginning in 2013-2014.[7]
- The Fenix power station is a a 520 MW thermal power plant planned for Peru by energy company Fenix Power. The US$700m project is due to start operations in 2013. It will generate around 10 per cent of the energy requirements of Peru.[8]
