Electro Ucayali

Electro Ucayali is the main electricity supply company for the Ucayali Department in Peru. It is a state-owned enterprise that began operations on 28 February 1995 under Supreme Resolution No. 085-95-EM. Its headquarters are located in Puerto Callao, in the Yarinacocha District of Pucallpa. The company is considered one of the smaller state-owned enterprises in Peru's electricity sector. Electro Ucayali currently serves approximately 50,000 customers across the districts of Yarinacocha, Callería, and Campo Verde in Coronel Portillo Province, as well as parts of Atalaya and Padre Abad. It holds the distribution concession for three electrical systems located in the provinces of Coronel Portillo, Padre Abad, and Atalaya. The first two systems are connected to Peru's National Interconnected Electric System (SEIN), while the third is an isolated system supplied by the Canuja Hydroelectric Plant and the Atalaya Thermal Plant. As a state-owned utility, Electro Ucayali operates under the framework of Peru's electricity sector regulations and is subject to oversight by the relevant energy authorities. Its role is primarily focused on distribution and supply rather than generation, although the isolated Atalaya system relies on dedicated generation sources. The company's concession areas cover a vast and geographically challenging region of the Peruvian Amazon, which influences both its operational costs and its service expansion strategies. Electro Ucayali remains an active entity, providing essential electricity services to urban and rural populations in the Ucayali region. Its customer base and infrastructure reflect its position as a regional distributor within Peru's broader state-owned electricity holding structure.

Electro Ucayali was established as a state-owned electricity company in Peru and began operations on 28 February 1995, formalized by Supreme Resolution No. 085-95-EM. The company was created to manage electricity distribution in the Ucayali Department, a region in the Peruvian Amazon. Its headquarters were set up in Puerto Callao, Yarinacocha District, near the city of Pucallpa. From its inception, Electro Ucayali was designed to serve a geographically dispersed and challenging service area. The company holds distribution concessions for three electrical systems: two in Coronel Portillo and Padre Abad provinces, which are connected to the National Interconnected Electric System (SEIN), and one isolated system in Atalaya Province. The isolated system relies on the Canuja Hydroelectric Plant and the Atalaya Thermal Plant for power supply. Over the years, Electro Ucayali has expanded its customer base to approximately 50,000 clients across districts including Yarinacocha, Callería, Campo Verde, and parts of Atalaya and Padre Abad. Despite its regional importance, it is regarded as one of the smaller state-owned enterprises in Peru's electricity sector. The company continues to operate as an active state-owned utility, providing essential electricity services to the Ucayali region.
