en.Wedoany.com Reported - Statkraft Perú has announced the construction of the Emma wind power project in Piura, Peru, with an installed capacity of 72 MW. This project marks the company's official entry into Peru's wind power development sector, aiming to provide clean, renewable, reliable, and competitive energy to the National Interconnected Electric System (SEIN) of Peru.

With the addition of the Emma project to Statkraft Perú's portfolio, the company will advance its technology diversification and geographic diversification strategy, integrating wind energy on the basis of existing hydropower and solar power generation. This technology mix helps provide more resilient and efficient energy solutions for key industries such as mining and agribusiness.

Once operational, the project will impact the competitiveness of energy prices in Peru through two commercial levers: improved cost efficiency and increased market competition. Leveraging stable wind resources with a capacity factor exceeding 50%, the Emma project ensures industry-leading performance and passes efficiency gains on to end customers.

Alongside advancing wind power, Statkraft continues to expand its renewable energy market through the construction of the Lupi solar park in Moquegua.

The project's location in Piura enables Statkraft to extend its operations to northern Peru, enhancing its ability to directly meet regional demand. The Emma project will complement the company's existing hydropower portfolio, reducing dependence on hydrological variability and providing reliable supply for enterprises seeking 100% renewable energy with guarantees of origin and operational stability.

Enzo Contreras, Country Manager of Statkraft Perú, stated: "With the Emma project, we are taking a decisive step on our consolidation and growth path in Peru. By adding wind energy to our hydropower base, we strengthen a portfolio composed of three complementary technologies, delivering clean, competitive, and reliable energy to our customers while promoting a more diversified and sustainable energy mix."

During the construction phase, the Emma project will prioritize hiring local workers and suppliers as part of its sustainable development strategy, boosting the regional economy.

The Emma project will be executed in accordance with the highest international sustainability and human rights standards, including compliance with approved environmental impact studies to protect local biodiversity and ensuring fair labor conditions for contractors. Through this initiative, Statkraft is committed to developing renewable energy infrastructure, contributing to the country's sustainable growth and building a more competitive, diversified, and resilient energy mix.
