Anglo American Closes Power Supply Agreement of 187 MW for the Quellaveco Mine in Peru

Santivañez Abogados has advised Anglo American on an agreement of 187 MW with Engie Energía Perú to provide 100% renewable energy for the Quellaveco copper operation in Peru, which is expected to begin production in 2022. With this agreement, Anglo American has reached its commitment to source 100% renewable energy for all of its operations in Brazil, Chile and Peru.

Tom McCulley, CEO of Anglo American in Peru, said: “Copper has such an important role to play in enabling the global transition to a low carbon economy, so it is important for Anglo American’s new world-class copper mine in Peru – Quellaveco – to lead the way by minimising its own carbon and broader environmental footprint.”
