ClearPower Secures Authorization for $35M Hydropower Project in Peru's Tinajones System

By MGN Editorial•September 23, 2026 at 02:36 PM

ClearPower Global has received PEOT authorization to develop renewable hydropower in Peru's Tinajones irrigation system, with a $35 million investment projected to generate up to 184 GWh of clean energy annually.

## ClearPower Secures Hydropower Authorization in Peru ClearPower Global has been granted authorization by Peru's Olmos Tinajones Special Project (PEOT) to develop renewable hydropower infrastructure within the country's Tinajones irrigation system, the company announced on September 23, 2026. According to a PR Newswire release, the Miami-based firm's $35 million investment is expected to generate up to 184 GWh of renewable energy annually, contributing to Peru's broader clean energy transition while supporting the regional economy in the Lambayeque region. ### Project Significance The Tinajones system is a major hydraulic infrastructure complex in northern Peru, primarily designed to support agricultural irrigation. ClearPower's authorization to harness the system's water flows for hydropower generation represents a dual-use approach to existing water infrastructure — a model increasingly favored by energy developers seeking to minimize environmental disruption while maximizing output from established civil works. While the project is not directly a maritime venture, it carries relevance for the broader regional energy landscape that supports port operations, cold-chain logistics, and agro-industrial export activity along Peru's northern Pacific coast — sectors closely tied to maritime trade flows through ports such as Paita. ### Investment and Output The $35 million capital commitment underscores growing private-sector confidence in Peru's renewable energy regulatory framework. At full capacity, the 184 GWh annual output would be sufficient to power tens of thousands of households and could contribute to reducing diesel dependency in regional industrial and logistics operations. ClearPower Global has positioned the project as a cornerstone of its Latin American renewable energy strategy, with the PEOT authorization marking a key regulatory milestone ahead of construction and commissioning phases. ### Regional Economic Impact Beyond energy generation, the company cited regional economic benefits, including local employment and infrastructure development, as central to the project's value proposition — factors that align with Peru's national priorities for sustainable development in its northern coastal regions. Further details on project timelines and grid integration arrangements are expected as the development progresses through subsequent permitting and construction stages.
