La Oroya hydropower plant

La Oroya hydropower plant receives water from the hydraulic sub-system of the Pachachaca hydropower plant, also owned and operated by mg游戏官方网站 秘鲁. The water used in Pachachaca is discharged into the Yauli river, and then taken in again at the cut-off intake and channelled to the Taza Oroya forebay. Finally, the water is conveyed to the powerhouse via a penstock. La Oroya is equipped with three generation units.

The annual energy production of La Oroya hydropower plant is about 57 GWh, enough to power approximately 40,000个家庭.
