Recently, after the completion of 72 hours of trial operation of the San Gaban III Hydropower Plant in Peru, the first unit of the power plant was successfully put into operation for power generation.

Located in Puno Province in southeastern Peru, the San Gaban III Hydropower Plant is the most downstream cascade hydropower plant of the San Gaban River, jointly invested and built by Three Gorges International, China International Water & Electric Power Corporation, and the China-LAC Cooperation Fund. With a total installed capacity of 209,300 kilowatts and an average annual power generation of 1,252 million kilowatt hours, the project is the first hydropower project invested by Chinese enterprise in Peru. PowerChina Chengdu obtained the first overseas design supervision contract in this project, which is of great significance to explore the international market by relying on the core competitiveness of hydropower engineering survey and design.

The San Gaban III Hydropower Plant plays an important role in Peru's national energy development plan, after the project is successfully put into operation for power generation, it can effectively alleviate the power supply pressure in the southern region, optimize the local energy structure, and achieve significant social and economic benefits.
