These are two facilities built by the company Amazonas Energía Solar for Electro Oriente, totaling 9.6 MWp and 13.5 MWh of storage, both located in the department of Loreto.
Located in Requena and Tamshiyacu, both in the department of Loreto, two photovoltaic plants with storage were inaugurated simultaneously by Amazonas Energía Solar, a joint venture between Novum Solar and EDF Perú, for Electro Oriente, totaling 9.6 MWp and 13.5 MWh, respectively.
The photovoltaic plants are expected to supply electricity to 28,000 people living in areas outside the power grid.
The opening ceremony was attended by the President of the Republic, Dina Boluarte; the Vice Minister of Electricity, Víctor Carlos Estrella; the mayors of the localities and executives of the executing companies.
Requena
The Requena plant , with an investment of more than 13.4 million dollars, has an installed capacity of 7.5 MWp of photovoltaic energy, from 12,880 bifacial and monocrystalline panels, and 10.0 MWh of storage, supported by 864 battery modules. This system, which ensures an uninterrupted power supply and a renewable energy share of more than 60% for more than 22 thousand people, will replace a large part of diesel-based thermal generation.
The facility is located within the Buffer Zone of the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve, in the district and province of Requena.
Tamshiyacu
Tamshiyacu, meanwhile, has required an investment of 5.8 million dollars, and has 2.1 MWp, based on 3,588 solar panels and a 3.5 MWh battery storage system. It is assured that it will serve more than 6 thousand people, with a renewable energy share of more than 75%.
Amazonas Energía Solar plans to operate hybrid solar and storage plants in Purús, Atalaya and San Lorenzo, and expects to put similar ones into operation in the cities of Caballococha, El Estrecho, Contamana, Orellana and Lagunas between 2026 and 2027.
In July 2022, an agreement was announced between the French company EDF and the local company Novum Solar to install ten photovoltaic plants with storage in the Peruvian Amazon. |
