Engie ready to build wind farm that will supply Anglo American’s Quellaveco project in Peru

Punta Lomitas is a wind park with a nominal capacity of 260 MW. It is located in the Ocucaje-Ica region and includes a 220kV, 60-kilometre long transmission line that will connect to Peru’s Interconnected National Electric System.   

The facility is also expected to provide 150 MW for an initial eight-year period to Anglo American Quellaveco’s copper project located in the Moquegua region. 

Quellaveco is considered one of the world’s largest undeveloped copper deposits with ore reserves totalling 1.3 billion tonnes at an average grade of 0.57% tcu.
