The Museum of Electricity was inaugurated on August 9, 1994. In 1998 the museum was transferred to ELECTROPERU S.A., a company that generates electrical energy. The museum constitutes a cultural and educational space for the general public, and in particular for the scholar. The work of the Museum of Electricity represents an effort to disseminate the country's electrical industrial heritage, as well as publicizing the business work of ELECTROPERU S.A. as a national electricity generation company.
