Conversion and modernization of Chilca UNO power plant to a combined cycle operation, for the eco efficient use of water and greater power generation. The project is including a desalinization plant to source water, reducing the exploitation of wells and avoiding use the scarce underground water. In addition, Chilca UNO is implementing a program to promote efficient water use by using aerocondensors instead of water for the cooling process. This will reduce the amount of water required from 80,000 m3/day to 1,500 m3/day. The company has been awarded by the Sociedad Nacional de M’neria Petr—leo y Energ’a on Sustainable Development for this project.
