The gross power generation of Statkraft Perú S.A. in 2014 totaled 1,728.30 GWh, 2.57 % lower than the generation in 2013. This decrease is explained by hydrological factors, mainly due to the extremely dry year in the Jequetepeque river catchment area, where the Gallito Ciego hydropower plant is located. However, this was offset by the optimization of operating processes, such as the optimized usage of water at the Yaupi hydropower plant, avoiding discharges in view of the cascade generation with the Yuncan HPP from company Enersur, the improved generation capacity of the Cahua hydropower plant after the overhaul, and the optimized usage of water at the Malpaso hydropower plant when discharging the water from the Junín Lake up to a useful volume of 44 MMC.

In 2014, the mean capacity was 197.29 MW, and the company’s power output accounted for approximately 4.14% of the total output of all generation companies that are members of COES-SINAC. Statkraft Perú S.A. was ranked sixth in power production (source: COES)

Chart 1 shows the improved operation management of Statkraft Perú S.A., by reducing loss of revenues. In 2014 one of the lowest figures of the last 5 years was recorded, which shows a sustained decrease of losses.

On the other hand, since the O&M philosophy is based on the overhaul, condition monitoring and remote control, in 2014, through the “Superador” training program, the competences of technicians were developed aimed at the condition monitoring of generation and transmission assets. As a result, the asset intervention and/or maintenance times are optimized, thus maximizing their availability, and increasing power generation.
