Técnicas Reunidas and JJC are developing the Nodo Energético del Sur project, which is planned to be commissioned in March 2017, for power utility EnerSur.
Siemens said the three new plants will be deployed in Ilo, which is a seaport in the Moquegua region, the southern part of Peru.
Siemens Power and Gas division Large Gas Turbines/Generators Business Unit CEO Thierry Toupin said: "The SGT6-5000F gas turbine offers economical power generation for peak-, intermediate-, or base-load duty.
"It is an environmentally friendly gas turbine technology with low water injection requirements, and equipped with Shaping Power, a feature that enables higher power output on higher temperature days.
Capable of being operated for the first five years with fuel oil, the SGT6-5000F dual fuel gas turbines will then be operated on natural gas.
The three simple cycle plants will have a total capacity of 600MW when fired with fuel oil.
Siemens will manufacture the SGT6-5000F turbines at its factory in Charlotte, North Carolina, the US, which is the main production facility for Siemens 60 Hz power generation.
