Cheves 水电站

Cheves is a run-of-river 水电站 that produces energy by turbining the water of the Huaura and Checras rivers. The Huaura intake takes in part of the water from the Huaura river, and then conveys it to the Checras 大坝, where it is stored together with the Checras river water before being diverted into the headrace tunnel.  This tunnel then conveys the water to the powerhouse. 最后, the Picunche compensation reservoir, which regulates the water downstream of the powerhouse, naturally discharges the water back into the river.

The Cheves 水电站 has operated since 2015 and the annual energy production is about 825 GWh, enough to power more than 570,000个家庭.

Irrigation projects are being implemented in the area for conservation and better use of water. Activities are also being undertaken to improve agricultural development. We are also involved in joint efforts with the Government to launch educational campaigns on water-related issues, 素质教育, and health among other things.
