Peru: Repsol freezes power plant construction works in the Amazon following community protests
Spanish energy multinational Repsol put a halt to construction works for a gas compressor plant in the Peruvian Amazon until 2019, due to protests from an indigenous community that owns the rights to the land. According to the Environmental Impact Assessment approved by the Ministry of Energy and Mine, Repsol carried out civil participation mechanisms in these three communities to inform about the project and receive input, observations and suggestions from the natives, although the community said it expects a better proposal from the company. More information, as well as links to the company's website and its sustainability plan for Peru are available below.
