The Chadin II project is planned to be built by Brazilian giant Odebrecht and is one of twenty four planned hydroelectric projects along the Marañon River - one of the main rivers that forms the Amazon. Thousands of local residents stand to be displaced by the Chadin II project, which would flood some 3,000 hectares along the Marañon. Chadin II, like the other dozens of projects along the Marañon, is part of the government’s strategy to provide energy to the growing mining industry in the country. Peru may be on the verge of surpassing the successful Chilean copper mining industry in mineral exports because of its abundance of water – which Chile lacks – which is able to provide the energy and water sources that mining companies need.
