Over 1,300 rural communities of Peru's Northern Cajamarca region benefit from gaining access to electricity services, the Energy and Mines Ministry's Rural Electrification Department (DGER) highlighted.
This progress was possible thanks to the works developed by the current administration over the last four years.
The projects favored nearly 200,000 inhabitants from several Cajamarca's provinces such as: San Ignacio, Santa Cruz, Cajabamba, San Marcos, Celendin, Cajamarca, San Miguel, Cutervo, Jaen, Contumaza, Chota and Hualgayoc.
It must be noted a series of projects were completed in 2015 with the aim of providing electricity to almost 30,000 Peruvian citizens.
Between August 2011 and December 2015, a total of 9,659 localities benefitted from this service, which translated into approximately 1.4 million inhabitants, who now rely on access to energy.
