Statkraft Peru, a leading renewable energy generation company and subsidiary of the Norwegian state-owned company Statkraft, has selected Vestas for the development of the 72 MW Emma Wind Farm in Peru, located in the Piura region. This project marks Vestas' return to the Peruvian market with its 4 MW platform and reinforces both companies' commitment to the energy transition and the country's sustainable development.
Under this contract, Vestas will be responsible for the supply and installation of 16 V163-4.5 MW wind turbines, with a hub height of 119 meters. Delivery of the main components is scheduled for the second quarter of 2027, while turbine commissioning is expected in the first quarter of 2028.
"We are very proud to support Statkraft in the development of the Emma Wind Farm. This project reinforces our confidence in Peru's growth potential as one of the most attractive renewable energy markets in the region. Wind energy will continue to play a key role in diversifying the country's energy mix, delivering competitiveness, security, and long-term sustainability. We remain committed to supporting the development of Peru's energy sector with cutting-edge technology, local expertise, and solutions that create value for our customers and the local economy.” says Andrés Gismondi, Vice President of Sales at Vestas for the Southern Cone and Northern Latin America.
This new project strengthens the presence Vestas has built in Peru over more than ten years through the operation and maintenance of 62 wind turbines, totaling 100 MW of installed capacity.
