Aqualia’s water portfolio in Peru surpasses €1 billion after adding a major treatment plant
Executive summary: Aqualia completed a large water treatment plant in Peru, raising its water‑business revenue in the country to over €1 billion. The expansion deepens the group’s exposure to a regulated utility market and signals continued capital allocation to water infrastructure in the Andean region.
Who is involved: Aqualia (controlled by Carlos Slim), Peruvian water authorities, and the plant’s engineering contractor.
Likely next: The facility will move to commissioning and start operations, potentially triggering additional water‑project tenders in Peru.
Aqualia, the water subsidiary of Carlos Slim’s conglomerate, announced the construction of a large depuradora that pushes its Peruvian water business revenue above the €1 billion mark. The move reflects ongoing consolidation in Latin America’s regulated water sector and expands Slim’s infrastructure footprint in the Andes. While the project reinforces the group’s utility assets, it also subjects Aqualia to Peru’s water‑concession and environmental regulatory framework.
