Wind Farm in Peru

To meet this demand, ContourGlobal is building the country’s first wind farm. The 114 MW Inka wind project is part of a special government effort to promote renewable energy in the country. It consists of two different sites along the northern shore of Peru, a 30.9 MW Talara site located close to the city of Piura and one 83.2 MW Cupisnique site located close to the city of Trujillo. The projects have 62 Vestas V100-1.8 wind turbines and has 20-year power purchase contracts secured at the 2010 Renewable auction promoted by the Peruvian Government. We expect energy demand in Peru to experience double digit growth in the near future due largely to the continued expansion of the mining sector.
