Guy Wire: Protecting Peru’s T&D Networks From Floods

/ , , , , ,

Heavy rainfall in Peru caused significant flooding when major riverbanks overflowed. Flooding poses risks to electrical infrastructure like substations and power distribution networks. Severe rainfall, landslides, and flooding can interrupt power delivery over extensive areas. Increasing water levels may impact electrical substations containing transformers, switchgear, busbars, protection relays, and control systems. This leads to short […]

Helical anchors boosting stability in Peru’s gas networks

/ , , , , ,

The Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM) implemented a set of measures to prioritize the supply of natural gas to households, public transportation, and activities in Peru. Peru’s gas infrastructure is dependent on key transmission pipelines that transport natural gas from production fields to consumption centers. The deflagration can result in localized pipeline integrity damage,

B-strand connectors in Chile grid curtailment

/ , , , ,

The Chilean Renewable Energy and Storage Association (ACERA) said that Chile has consolidated a renewable electricity mix. It now faces structural constraints linked to grid bottlenecks, curtailment, and rising flexibility needs. In 2025, the National Electric System generated 87 TWh, with renewables accounting for 63.3% of total output. Other renewable energy represented 42.4% of generation,

Anchor rods supporting Chile’s green hydrogen infrastructure

/ , , , , , ,

Chile is shifting the emphasis from the previous 25 GW electrolysis capacity by 2030 to a production-volume target of about 900,000 tonnes per year by 2035. This shift broadens focus from pure production capacity to consumption and export objectives. The change reflects slower global market uptake, higher capital and operating costs for electrolysis, and investor
