April 29 – Peru’s Ministry of Energy said on Wednesday the country’s wind and solar energy output in March 2016 increased 79% year-on-year to 96 GWh.
The huge difference can be attributed to the 97-MW CE Tres Hermanas wind park that began commercial operation that march, the government said.
This is the second consecutive rise in the country’s renewable generation since the beginning of the year.
Total power generation reached 4,462 GWh, a 8.3% increase from the previous year. In terms of source type, solar produced 22 GWh while wind generated 74 GWh. Hydropower plant (HPP) output grew 21.8% on the year to 2,532 GWh. Thermal plants, on the other hand, generated 1,833 GWh, down 7.7%.
From January to March of this year, Peru produced more than 13,000 GWh, of which 228 GWh are from wind and solar sources.
