“The ratings granted reflect the solid financial position of ENGIE Energía Perú, which is supported by the adequate level of capitalization, the diversification of its energy sources and the generation of energy at low operating costs, as well as the support, in terms of know-how, of its main shareholder, ENGIE, one of the main groups in the energy sector in the world”, states the report of Apoyo & Asociados Internacionales.

Moody’s Local and Apoyo & Asociados Internacionales maintained the “AAA Category” to ENGIE Energía Perú for the Third and Sixth Issue of the First Corporate Bond Program, the Third Corporate Bond Program, as well as the “Category 1a” for its Common Shares, with a “Stable” outlook for the company.

The AAA Category corresponds to the highest capacity to pay its financial obligations within the agreed terms and conditions. “ENGIE Energía Perú’s capacity is not significantly vulnerable to adverse changes in circumstances or the economic environment”, the reports state. Also, the “Category 1a” indicates that the company’s shares present a very good combination of solvency and stability in the issuer’s profitability.
