The transaction has several notable aspects.

Second, the client relationship with Grupo Romero, one of Peru's largest business conglomerates, potentially opens doors for additional business opportunities across their diverse portfolio.

This strategic financing will help reinforce the stability of the country's energy matrix, ensuring greater energy availability to drive economic and social development, thanks to its connection to the National Interconnected Electric System.
