PROINVERSIÓN: Chincha WWTP recognized as finalist at the GRI Awards 2025
Lima, September 19, 2025.- The Chincha Wastewater Treatment Plant (Chincha WWTP) project, structured and awarded by PROINVERSIÓN in January 2025, has been recognized as a finalist at the GRI Awards Infrastructure Andean 2025, the leading award for sustainable infrastructure in the Andean region.
The competition, organized by the GRI Institute, recognizes projects and initiatives that contribute to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and generate a direct impact on the economic and social growth of countries.
In this edition, the Chincha WWTP project, whose concession agreement was signed last July, is competing in the “Water Awards” category alongside initiatives from Colombia and Chile.
With an investment and operation and maintenance budget of US$ 250 million, the project will benefit 345,000 people across seven districts in Ica (Chincha Alta, Chincha Baja, Grocio Prado, Pueblo Nuevo, Alto Larán, Sunampe, and Tambo de Mora). Its implementation will allow for the proper treatment and disposal of Chincha’s wastewater, contributing to the reduction of diseases and creating conditions for the development of complementary initiatives, such as the safe reuse of treated wastewater for agricultural purposes.
The Executive Director of PROINVERSIÓN, Tabata Vivanco, highlighted that “the recognition of the Chincha WWTP as a finalist in the GRI Awards is a source of pride for the country because it reflects how Public–Private Partnerships can transform the lives of thousands of Peruvians, boost infrastructure, and position us as regional leaders."
This represents an opportunity for Peru to establish itself internationally as a country that develops sustainable and socially impactful infrastructure. Members of the GRI Institute can vote for the project until September 22, 2025, at the following link: https://www.griinstitute.org/infrastructure/event/gri-awards-infrastructure-andean-2025_4994
The Chincha WWTP is part of a strategic portfolio of water and sanitation projects managed by PROINVERSIÓN in 2025. The total portfolio represents approximately US$ 2 billion in investment and will benefit more than seven million Peruvians between 2025 and 2026.
