Peru to Award Wastewater Concessions

ProInversion, the private investment promotion agency of Peru, is to award maintenance and operation concessions for 12 wastewater plants in Lima and Callao.

The plan includes the Pucusana, Santa Rosa, Puente Piedra, San Juan, Parque 26, Carapongo and San Bartolo wastewater treatment plants, which are currently operated by state-owned water utility Sedapal.

ProInversion had earlier planned to provide concessions for 18 plants, but the number was reduced after the La Chira plant concession was awarded last year to Grana y Montero and Spain’s Acciona Agua, according to andina.com.
