Peruvian Ministry Grants Concession for Acciona Energía Solar Project; WNI Technology Changes Jacarezinho’s Public Lighting with Solar and More...

The Ministry of Energy and Mines of Peru has awarded ACCIONA Energía Perú a definitive concession to develop the San José photovoltaic project. This project, located in the district of La Joya in Arequipa, marks the Spanish energy company’s inaugural photovoltaic venture in Peru.

WNI Technology Group has successfully modernized 2,500 public lighting points in Jacarezinho, a city in Paraná with approximately 40,000 residents. The initiative involved replacing outdated lamps with energy-efficient LED luminaires. The first phase of this project began in December 2023 and concluded in March 2024.

Neoenergia and the Ministry of Defense have signed a Technical Cooperation Agreement aimed at advancing sustainability and reducing energy costs across military facilities. The agreement outlines plans to construct 10 solar power plants and replace 3.6 thousand outdated light bulbs with energy-efficient LED models in buildings used by the Army, Navy, and Air Force.

Chile’s largest solar power plant, CEME 1, has been inaugurated in a ceremony attended by national authorities and key energy sector stakeholders. The 480 MW solar plant, constructed and operated by Generadora Metropolitana—a joint venture between EDF and the Chilean company AME—marks a significant milestone in the country’s renewable energy landscape.
