Statkraft Launches First Wind Power Project in Peru

Statkraft has commenced the development of the 72 MW Emma Wind Project in Piura, northern Peru, expanding its renewable energy portfolio in the country with its first wind power investment. 

Located in Piura in northern Peru, Emma benefits from exceptionally strong and stable wind conditions. The project is expected to have an annual energy production of 325 GWh and achieve capacity factors above 50 percent, placing it among high-performing wind projects and contributing to competitive renewable energy supply for customers in the Peruvian market. The project will add wind power to Statkraft’s established hydropower portfolio in Peru and its growing solar pipeline, including the Lupi solar project in Moquegua. By combining hydropower, solar and wind, Statkraft will be better positioned to serve key sectors such as mining and agribusiness with energy solutions that are both cost-efficient and resilient.
