en.Wedoany.com Reported - Peru's Ministry of Energy and Mines, through Director's Resolution No. 0126-2026-MINEM/DGAAE, has approved the Environmental Impact Declaration for the San Joaquín Solar Photovoltaic Power Plant project, submitted by San Joaquín Solar S.A.C., with an installed capacity of 123 MWp.

The project is located in the La Joya district, Arequipa Province, Arequipa Region, and plans to connect to the San Martín Substation via a 33 kV medium-voltage underground line, thereby injecting electricity into Peru's National Interconnected Electric System (SEIN). The project's estimated investment is close to USD 82 million, with a construction period of 18 months and an operation and maintenance period set at 30 years.

The San Joaquín project is part of the solar complex developed by Zelestra Peru (Zelestra is a Spanish company, formerly known as Solarpack) in La Joya. The complex's total installed capacity is expected to approach 700 MW, including, in addition to San Joaquín, the already operational 300 MW San Martín plant and the 242 MWdc Babylon plant currently under construction. Zelestra stated in March that the Babylon plant is part of the La Joya complex, which will also encompass the San Martín and San Joaquín projects, the latter described at the time as a 125 MW project in an advanced stage of development.
