Support for energy development in Peru
CAF director representative in Peru, Eleonora Silva Pardo, said the project would be financed under two financial lease facilities and a long-term loan that Scotiabank has offered Termochilca Peru SAC for a total of US$83.5 million.
The CAF executive added that the project involved construction of a plant to generate 200 megawatts using natural gas from Camisea for sale of power to distributors in Peru.
"As part of our mission to support the sustainable development of countries in the region, we are supporting this project since it favors development of the Peruvian electricity sector, and also demonstrates our backing for local banks represented by Scotiabank, and the Americas Energy Fund (AEF), private investment fund set up in Ontario (Canada) in which CAF is a shareholder," she added..
