Peruvian thermo power producer Shougang Generación Eléctrica (Shougesa) has filed environmental documents for a large-scale wind project in Ica region.
The US$288mn, 302.4MW Shougang complex would be built in the coastal district of San Juan de Marcona, Nazca province, information from the environmental certification service for sustainable investments (Senace) shows.
The wind farm would boast 72 turbines, a 220/33kV substation and connect to the national grid at the El Hierro substation via a 22.24km transmission line.
Shougesa currently operates the 63MW San Nicolás thermo plant in San Juan de Marcona.
The company highlights the country’s sustained economic growth and private investment push which it says has generated greater demand for electricity produced from renewable energy resources.
“In this context, in order to promote projects with a sustainable approach and efficient use of natural resources that allow electricity generation, Shougesa proposes the use of wind energy, the same that after the feasibility study, has shown that the project presents favorable characteristics,” Shougesa adds.
Shougesa submitted a pre-operational study (EPO in Spanish) to grid coordinator COES in September for the wind project.
An EPO is used to show that a proposed plant and associated transmission infrastructure will not hinder the expansion of the national grid or impact the system’s safe and reliable operation.
Ica is home to the Marcona (32MW), Tres Hermanas (97.2MW) and Wayra (132MW) wind farms, which are three of Peru’s seven plants in operations that use the source.
A number of wind projects also are under development in Ica, among them Céfiro (300MW), Piletas (250MW), San Juan (131MW), Wayra expansion (177MW) and Windica (800MW, solar hybrid).
