The work has an official budget that amounts to almost 5 billion pesos. Last year there was a call for tender that was deserted. At that time the budget for the work was $3,000 million.

It should be clarified that not only the economic offer is considered to determine the winner of the tender, but a detailed background analysis and other technical details that accompany the offer are also carried out.

In this sense, Minister Kozicki explained that it will be a gas pipeline of approximately 110 kilometers, starting at 10 inches, connected to the main trunk line, which is on Route 157, in the town of Lavalle. It will cross the towns of Las Cañas, Bañado de Ovanta, Alijilán, Manantiales, Los Altos and descend towards Amadores, to head along National Route No. 38 towards the Capital City, ending at the Felipe Varela roundabout. In this context, he assured that the work period is 24 months and bids that improve said period will be considered. “There will be an exit along the entire route that must be complemented with subsequent works for gas distribution.

Huawei will install photovoltaic systems in isolated populations of Peru

An agreement between Huawei Digital Power Peru and the local company Novum Solar will allow isolated communities in the Peruvian Amazon to have electricity from the installation of photovoltaic systems. The agreement, signed within the framework of the LATAM ICT2022 Congress, held in Cancun, Mexico, proposes to bring electrification to isolated populations in Peru, in which the network cannot be installed, either for reasons of lack of infrastructure or impossibility of access . As explained to EFE by the general manager of Novum Solar, Tomas Luy, there are more than 700 localities in Peru that are in this situation. "We are going to seek, through this cooperation and with all our efforts, to provide a better electricity supply to these people," he explained the meaning of the agreement. “We have a long way to go. We still dont have a distributed generation regulation like other countries in Latin America have,” Luy added regarding the regulations in Peru. The LATAM ICT2022 Congress was organized by the Chinese company Huawei, which stands out as one of the worlds leading providers of information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure; It also develops an important division of photovoltaic solutions. Huawei and Novum Solar have had an alliance in Peru since 2020, in which the latter acts as the official distributor of Huawei Solar in the South American country. Both companies have already come together, for example, in the installation and start-up, in November of last year, of the first hybrid solar-hydroelectric project carried out in Peru , based on a 1.62 MW solar plant . It should be remembered that Acción.org also works to bring electricity to isolated rural areas of the country (in the framework of an action that also includes Mexico and Panama), a program known as Luz en Casa Amazonía .
