The $180 million Peaky Power Plant project near Ilo, Peru, consisted of the design, supply, and construction of a dual fuel thermoelectric power generating plant. The purpose of the plant is to perform as a cold reserve for the Peruvian grid to be utilized during future power shortages. The plant includes 3 x GE 7FA gas turbines in simple cycle and was installed next to an existing ILO21 coal-fired power plant. The ILO21 substation was also expanded to accommodate the new capacity.
