LIMA : A Peruvian industry group said on Tuesday that a major Chinese deal to buy two local power suppliers would hand the Asian country a near monopoly over the sector in Peru, particularly in and around populous capital Lima.

The deal would add to the 2020 purchase by Chinese state-owned Three Gorges Corporation of Luz del Sur, which supplies power to the other half of Lima, and a 2018 deal for the Chaglla hydroelectric plant, Peru's third largest power generator.
