136,000 panels, switched on ahead of schedule: Peru's Wayra solar farm is now feeding the grid

The 96.9-megawatt Wayra Solar Project in Peru's Ica Region has reached full-capacity grid connection ahead of schedule. Its more than 136,000 panels are expected to generate about 250 gigawatt-hours a year — enough output to avoid an estimated 150,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually. It is POWERCHINA's first completed renewable project in the country.
