Product types: photovoltaic systems, solar water heating systems, wind turbines (small). Enel invested about 170 million US dollars for the construction of Rubi, financing the Energia solar peru project with the Group's own resources and supporting the solar plant with a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) signed with the Ministry of Energy and Mines of Peru.
Photovoltaics have become, in recent years, a viable option for rural and isolated populations, because their electric generation costs have become competitive compared to other options, such as the extension of the conventional power grid or the use of diesel generators.

An estimated 3 million people in Peru don't have access to power, largely because of the remoteness of the villages where they live.From the Andes to the Amazon, folks are really spread out,” said Michael Callahan, CEO of PowerMundo, a nonprofit that distributes off-grid clean energy products from lanterns to micro home solar systems.
With an inexperienced domestic solar industry, analysts like vice president of market research company Solarbuzz's Finlay Colville believes the success of this programme lies with foreign developers, which the Peruvian government is hoping to woo through a bidding process as part of the programme.
This practice is something I had seen when reviewing case studies of environmental development in poor communities of the developing world at Bard CEP; an international body provides a portion of the capital necessary to meet the financial demands of the project, but requires participation involvement, and commitment by the beneficiaries to increase local investment, investment, and likelihood for sustainable success.

The NGOs, local partners and organisations that will work together with PROINSO in these five projects are Energy Without Borders, Movement for the Realisation of the Social Habitat (MIRHAS-Peru), Corazonistas Foundation, Caritas Yurimaguas, and Youth and Development.
As Peru is such a great location for solar energy production, there is a very high likelihood that many future projects will be created, helping the country save money while becoming one of the leaders in solar energy and renewable resource production.
In line with Creating Shared Value model (CSV) adopted by Enel Group , through which the business development is combined with local communities' needs in order to improve their quality of life , Enel Green Power Perú conducted a training workshop, aimed at the local population, on the recycling of wood used in the project for furniture production; this initiative was carried out with the support of the Municipality of Moquegua.

Alicia Condori Quispe, who was part of the Barefoot College coordinating team in Peru, told ConexiónCOP: The team monitored the distribution process, but it was the five engineers who installed the panels in the families' homes. The Group provides individuals, cities and businesses with highly efficient and innovative solutions largely based on its expertise in four key sectors: renewable energy, energy efficiency, liquefied natural gas and digital technology.
Peruvian President Martín Vizcarra and his Minister of Energy and Mines, Francisco Ísmodes, have inaugurated the Intipampa Solar Power Plant in Moquegua, in Peru's southern province of Mariscal Nieto. The statistics of the Ministry of Energy and Mines however, only include large-scale solar plants even as the Peruvian government is implementing a program to drive off-grid PV take-up.

I personally think it amazing to see a government step up and drive their country's infrastructure forward in such a bold, and large-scale project to provide essential life quality to the residents that need it the most. These people aren't going to be running a central heating plant, refrigerator, hot water heater, etc.
With a budget of more than 36m euros ($47m; £30m), the EU and its local partners across Latin America have donated kits aimed at producing energy in 600 rural communities that are not connected to the electricity grid. Most homeowners and weekend warriors don't have the skills necessary to safely and securely install solar power panels and connect them to your home and the utility grid.
