Energy ministers from Brazil and Peru have met to discuss progress of their plans of enhancing electricity production in the Andean nation.
Speaking at a news conference after the meeting, Brazil’s mines and energy minister Edson Lobao said that the first five power stations - to be built in Peru at a cost of around £7.8bn ($13bn) - will produce a combined total of 6,000MW per year from 2015.
He added that the Latin American nations are in talks to construct a total of 15 hydroelectric power stations.
These stations are expected to generate 15,000MW of electricity, of which 80% will be shipped to Brazil and the remaining 20% will be consumed by Peru, according to the private Agencia Estado news agency and other local media.
It is said that Brazil, the largest Latin American nation, is expanding its electricity grid to link jungle dams to industrial centres and reduce costly diesel-fuel generation.
