Peru to sign 10 renewable energy supply contracts at end-Sep

Sep 1, 2011 - Peru's government will sign ten power supply contracts for 20 years with investors in renewable energy projects at the end of this month, the energy and mines ministry said yesterday.
The contracts were awarded in Peru's second renewable energy tender, which was held this year. The supplies will come from seven hydroelectric projects, with a combined capacity of 102 MW, and from one wind, one solar and one biomass power projects, of 90 MW, 16 MW and 2 MW, respectively. The hydroelectric plants will supply 680 GWh a year, while the other projects will provide 473 GWh a year.
The projects will start commercial operations by the end of 2014, the ministry's electricity director, Roberto Tamayo, said.
