Mollendo Location: Peru Operator: Empresa de Generacion Arequipa SA (Egasa) Configuration: 2 X 37.5 MW 6001E gas turbines, 3 X 10.5 MW 16MB430V engines Fuel: diesel oil, heavy oil Operation: 1997-1999 T/E/G supplier: Alstom, Mirrlees, Brush EPC: Alstom Quick facts: Construction of the IC component at Mollendo began in 1996 to supply the Sistema Interconectado Sur Oeste (SISO) covering the departments of Arequipa, Moquegua and Tacna. In 1997, Cuzco and Puno departments were joined to the SISO grid. The IC plant went commercial in Apr 1998. In 1998, the flooding of the Machupicchu hydro plant in Cuzco led to a regional supply crisis and in Feb 1998, the government authorized the acquisition of two GTs . These commissioned in Sep 2000. The Mollendo plant is connected to the 138kV grid and is generally on standby since Machupicchu went back online. The two Mollendo GTs are planned for transfer to Independence-Pisco and conversion to Camisea natural gas at a total cost of about $8mn.
