Powering up Peru! Nexans is to supply 875km of 220kV Aero-Z® high voltage, bare aluminium, over- head conductors for a project to reinforce Peru’s electrical power infrastructure. Red de Energia del Peruo (REP), a subsidiary of the Columbia-based ISA Group (the largest electrical transmission company in North Latin America) will install the 455mm² cross-section Aero-Z® conductors along Peru’s pacific coast to connect two substations, Paramonga and Chimbote. The contract is worth approximately €6.2 million. The replacement of old electrical grids and the building of new 220kV transmission lines with Nexans’ Aero-Z® conductors in northern Peru is being driven by the need to meet the growing demand for energy in the country’s industrial and mining region. REP is also constructing new electrical substations in order to interconnect a new gas-fired power station. The Aero-Z® conductors will be manu- factured in Nexans’ Elouges plant in Belgium.
