Joint venture now supplies the ‘island in the jungle’ with energy using seven 32/44CR engines


MAN Diesel & Turbo has successfully commissioned seven 32/44CR diesel engines for the operation of a base load power plant in the Peruvian city of Iquitos. The power plant operator is a joint venture between the Israeli company Telemenia, which was also an EPC partner (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) for construction of the plant, and V-Power – a power distributor which mainly operates in Asia.

his new project, involving seven 32/44CR diesel engines forming


the core of a base load power plant in the Peruvian city of Iquitos, offered demanding requirements in terms of logistics. It is currently supported by MAN PrimeServ – the company's global after- sales service provider. "MAN PrimeServ will supply


spare parts to and provide service staff for the power plant in Iquitos up to 2027 as part of a Long Term Service Agreement (LTSA)," explains Dr. Michael Filous, Head of Prime- Serv O&M at MAN Diesel & Turbo in Augsburg: "As part of the LTSA, an online service for real-time monitoring of the performance of the plant is also

78 MW, the power plant supplements the energy supply to the jungle city of Iquitos and its roughly 400,000 inhabitants. It replaces

an outdated plant run by the local network operator. Due to the particular location of the city, which can be described as an island in the jungle and that can only be accessed by boat and airplane, the engines had to be delivered by water via the Amazonas. The engines were trans-


ported on barges from the Brazilian city of Manaus around two-thousand kilometers


upstream to Iquitos. MAN's EPC partner,


Telemenia, designs, builds and operates power plants with a capacity of between 1 MW and 350 MW all over the world. The two companies can look back on many years of collabo- ration together and have already successfully implemented 10+ projects on three continents together. www.mandieselturbo.com
