The Huanza hydropower plant (Spanish: Central Hidroeléctrica Huanza ) is located in the Peruvian Western Cordillera on the Río Pallca , a source river of the Río Santa Eulalia , in the central west of Peru , 75 km northeast of the state capital Lima . The power plant is located in the Huanza district in the Huarochirí province of the Lima administrative region . The plant is operated by CONENHUA, a subsidiary of the Buenaventura group of companies .
Hydroelectric power plant
The hydropower plant was built between 2009 and 2014. The above-ground power station building is at an altitude of 3352 m . It houses 2 vertically directed Pelton turbines with an output of 45.3 MW each. The average annual energy production is 367 GWh. The power plant uses a net drop height of 703 m. The expansion water volume is 15.8 m³ / s. The water enters the river below the power plant. The Carhuac hydropower plant , which was completed at the end of the 2010s, is 2 km downstream .
Pallca dam
The Pallca dam (Spanish: Presa Pallca ⊙ ) is located about 12 km upstream on the Río Pallca . The concrete dam is 38 m high and 195 m wide. A 9.9 km long pipeline leads from the reservoir to the power plant.
Weir on the Río Conay
The Río Conay is a right tributary of the Río Pallca, which flows into it below the power station. At a weir ( ⊙ ) 6 km north of the power plant, part of the river water is diverted and fed to the power plant.
More water storage and supply lines
Several natural lakes in the catchment area of the dam were provided with dams so that an increased water storage capacity is available for the downstream hydropower plants. Furthermore, water is diverted from the lake Laguna Marcapomacocha , which lies in the catchment area of the Río Mantaro , and fed to the catchment area of the power plant via an 11.9 km long canal and a subsequent 10.1 km long tunnel. The supply tunnel ( ⊙ ) ends above Lake Laguna Milos .
