Peru Jumps Head First Into Alternative Energy Projects
Hello and Happy Monday fellow energy conservationists. Right on the back of last week’s power-packed postings about Wind Energy and how you can get involved, today I’m coming at you with some great news about someone else that’s getting involved in this clean technology…Peru.
According to new reports, Peru is launching its very first major alternative energy project as we speak. That’s right folks, those in the know of Peruvian happenings are saying that “Peruvian alternative energy company Iberoperuana Inversiones SAC has commenced construction on a 240 megawatt wind energy farm. It is Peru’s first major alternative energy project. “ It looks like $240 million will be spent to make this thing operable and once done it should provide clean, renewable energy for almost 80,000 families.
This new wind farm will couple up with a biodiesel installment in Peru and hopefully a lot of other new projects in the future. It has been noted that Peru, with its abundant sunshine, wide open desert spaces and coastal access, could become a major source of alternative energy now, and in the future. The best and most exciting news that absoultely made my day this fine Monday was the fact that “the San Andrés Wind Park is only the first of 15 alternative energy projects that Iberoperuana Inversiones has been licensed to pursue in Peru.”
Right on Peru, keep it up, and start spreading that infectious optimism everywhere in South America!
