The Yarucaya hydropower plant (Spanish Central Hidroeléctrica Yarucaya ) is located on the Río Huaura in the central west of Peru , 112 km north of the state capital Lima . The power plant is located in the Sayán district in the Huaura province of the Lima administrative region . The hydropower project, which was implemented between 2015 and 2017, cost $ 33 million. The Inter-American Development Bank granted a loan of US $ 12 million . The plant is operated by Huaura Power Group SA
Hydroelectric power plant
The hydropower plant, which went into operation in July 2017, is located in the Western Cordillera of Peru, 60 km from the Pacific coast. It is located at river kilometer 68 on the left bank of the Río Huaura. The hydropower plant is equipped with two Francis turbines (impeller diameter: 900 mm). These were supplied by the Austrian company Gugler Water Turbines GmbH. The total installed capacity is 18 MW. The planned annual energy production is 130.7 GWh. The power plant uses a net head of 168.9 m. The expansion water volume per turbine is 6 m³ / s. Below the power station, the water is fed back into the Río Huaura. The power plant runs in run-of-river power plant mode . The energy production during the months with little rainfall should deviate slightly from that during the rainy season.
Weir on the Río Huaura
6 km upstream there is a weir ( ⊙ ) on the Río Huaura. Below this there are several settling basins on the left bank of the river . The water then reaches the power plant via an underground pipeline.
