- Developed alongside construction of the new transmission line, the initiative is designed to support educational continuity for children and young people in the area
As part of its commitment to the development of communities near its projects and under its Energía Educativa program, ACCIONA has launched the Traveling Community School in Peru’s Tumbes region, in the district of Papayal.
Organized in partnership with Fundación Semilleros de Campeones, the initiative aims to strengthen children’s and young people’s overall well-being and educational continuity through safe, inclusive learning environments, while opening up opportunities that support their holistic development.
With 12 sessions delivered over three months, the first phase has reached more than 480 people, including students, young participants, and facilitators involved in the program. Sessions focused on building socio-emotional and physical skills, using a certified methodology that includes capacity building for local leaders and teachers to help ensure the initiative’s long-term sustainability.
To support delivery, ACCIONA established a strategic partnership with the Municipality of Papayal, enabling use of the municipal stadium and transportation for participants from their homes to the learning site.
POWER TRANSMISSION IN PERU
ACCIONA has extensive experience in the construction and operation of transmission lines across multiple countries. In Peru, in 2022 the company signed a concession agreement with the Private Investment Promotion Agency (Proinversión) for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of two new power transmission networks (Reque–Nueva Carhuaquero and Nueva Tumbes–Tumbes). The project, in the north of the country, will benefit 1.3 million people. In 2023, ACCIONA was awarded two additional transmission lines: Ica–Poroma in southern Peru and Cáclic–Jaén in the north. In 2024, ACCIONA was awarded three more concession transmission projects, totaling 400 kilometers of lines, six new substations, and the modernization of six existing substations.
