The Ica–Poroma link will stretch between Ica and Poroma, in the southern part of the country, with plans to incorporate the transmission line into Peru’s national electricity grid.
For its part, the ITC link Cáclic-Jaén Norte, to be located in the north of Peru, will supply electricity to the local grid.
