114 MW
Peru is one of the fastest growing countries in South America and has seen rapidly expanding energy demand in recent years. To meet this demand, ContourGlobal has built the country’s first large scale wind farm.
The 114 MW Inka wind project was part of a special government effort to promote renewable energy in the country. It consisted 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.
Since entering into commercial operations in 2014, the Talara and Cupisnique wind farms have contributed with over 444 GWh/year of clean power to the development of the country, providing enough power to meet the needs of 350 thousand Peruvian families and avoiding 3 million tons of CO2 emissions every year.
