The consortium of Spanish gas transmission network operator Enagas (25%) and Brazilian construction group Odebrecht (75%) has been selected to build and operate the Gasoducto Sur Peruano (GSP) project in southern Peru. Proinversion, the State agency in charge of public tenders, disqualified the other competing consortium of GDF SUEZ and Sempra.
The gas pipeline will stretch over 1,080 km from Camisea (Cusco) to a new petrochemical complex to be built in Ilo (Moquegua), near the Chilean border. The consortium will invest between US$3.6bn and US$4bn in the construction and will charge US$7.3bn for services offered during the 34-year concession.
