The Wayra Solar Project is expected to boost local clean energy supply and low-carbon green development.
The 96.9 MW Wayra Solar Project in Peru, built by POWERCHINA, achieved full-capacity grid-connected power generation ahead of schedule on Sept 19, marking the completion and commissioning of POWERCHINA's first renewable energy project in the country.
Located in the Marcona District of Nasca Province, Ica Region, the project has an installed capacity of 96.9 MW. It features more than 136,000 photovoltaic modules and 2,345 single-axis tracking brackets, alongside supporting infrastructure including seven 33 kV collector lines, a 220 kV step-up substation, and its transmission lines.
Once operational, the project is expected to generate approximately 250 million kWh of electricity annually, cutting carbon dioxide emissions by about 150,000 metric tons per year and boosting local clean energy supply and low-carbon green development.
The commissioning of the project further expands the company's business footprint in Peru's new energy sector. Moving forward, POWERCHINA will continue to handle subsequent project handover and related tasks, driving deeper and more practical green energy cooperation between China and Peru through high-quality project execution.
