Enel Generación Perú and its subsidiary Chinango, members the Enel Group in Peru, have made official the sale of their 220 kV and 60 kV transmission lines to Conelsur, a company related to Transelec Rentas Holdings S.A—a Chilean company of Canadian capital—that through this operation enters the Peruvian market.

Thinking Ahead
Enel Generación Perú highlighted that the purpose for this purchase of non-strategic assets is to drop resources in order to focus on future strategic investments. Besides, transmission lines can be managed autonomously by third-party transmission operators.
After signing the purchase contract on 19 July, Enel Generación Perú, Chinango and Conelsur will submit to the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM) the transfer approval request in favour of Conelsur. Therefore, the transfer of lines and the financial closure of the transaction are subject to the corresponding ministry authorization.
