PETROPERÚ and ENEL X begin implementation of a network of electric stations in service stations

In order to encourage electric mobility in the country, PETROPERÚ and ENEL X PERÚ inaugurated the first electric station at the service stations affiliated with the state company, which is located at the Kío Service Station, at kilometer 25.62 of the South Pan-American Highway.

The President of the Board of PETROPERÚ, Eduardo Guevara; the Country Manager of ENEL PERÚ, Marco Fragale; the General Manager of PETROPERÚ, Carlos Barrientos and the General Manager of ENEL X PERÚ, Alejandro Barragán.

This initiative is carried out as part of the Framework Cooperation Agreement that both companies recently signed to encourage electric mobility in Peru, promoting the economic and environmental advantages generated by the use of electric vehicles.

Eduardo Guevara indicated that this new business generation project will contribute to the strengthening of PETROPERÚ as an energy company. "Today, we are taking a first step towards the implementation of a network of electric stations in the service stations affiliated to the PETROPERÚ network and we will continue to bet on other similar projects that allow us to use and apply renewable energies, more friendly to the planet," he added.

Marco Fragale highlighted the importance of the agreement between both companies to promote electromobility. “At ENEL PERÚ we recognize the great potential that electrification represents for the development of transportation in the country. This new electric station is one more step in the massification of this environmentally friendly technology, of which we are promoters and articulators through the different public-private initiatives. An example of this was the implementation of the first electric bus for the red corridor more than a year ago and, today, the start-up of the first Lima Sur electric station at the Kío Service Station," he said.

After the inauguration and the first charging of an electric vehicle, Carlos Barrientos pointed out that it is planned to create a network of commuters both in the south and the small north, as well as working with its clients in the industrial, mining and transport sectors. "In this way we promote electromobility and contribute to the sustainable development goals, guaranteeing access to affordable, safe, sustainable and modern energy for everyone in the country," he said.

Alejandro Barragán, for his part, remarked: “We are proud to inaugurate the first electroline station in Lima Sur, which is further proof of our commitment to the development of electromobility in the country. This facility joins the network of more than 40 electric stations that ENEL X PERÚ has implemented throughout the country and which, at the same time, are part of the Pan-American network of ENEL X, which links North America with South America. In the coming months we hope to continue with new deliveries of electroline stations together with PETROPERÚ".
