Peru: Acciona Energia has connected its first renewable energy project in Peru to the National Interconnected Electricity System (SEIN) grid.
The project, San Juan de Marcona wind farm, has a capacity of 135 MW. It is located in the department of Ica and made up of 23 wind turbines with a capacity of 5.9 MW each. It will produce 608 GWh of energy annually, enough to satisfy the needs of 478,000 Peruvian households. The project represents an investment by the global renewable energy company of $180 million (€164 million). The wind farm has begun to inject energy into the SEIN through a 33 km 220 kV transmission line, connected to the Marcona substation.
“The commissioning of the San Juan de Marcona wind farm reflects our commitment to contribute to the necessary development of renewable energies in Peru to drive the energy transition towards a low-carbon economy, something that is increasingly urgent for the sustainability of our planet,” explained Miguel Arraras, Acciona Energia’s General Manager for South America.
