Located in Requena and Tamshiyacu, both in the department of Loreto, two solar-plus-storage sites have been inaugurated by the Amazonas Energía Solar joint venture owned by Peruvian company Novum Solar and French-owned EDF Perú.
The projects, installed for utility Electro Oriente, feature 9.6 MWp of solar generation capacity and 13.5 MWh of energy storage.
The photovoltaic plants are expected to supply electricity to 28,000 people living in off-grid areas.
President of Peru Dina Boluarte attended an opening ceremony for the projects along with Vice Minister of Electricity Víctor Carlos Estrella and the mayors of the two localities and company executives.
