Ergon Peru has been awarded an annual fee of US$11.4 million for northern Peru, US$8.9 million for central and US$8.4 million for the south.

Deputy minister of energy, Raul Perez-Reyes Espejo and a representative of Ergon Peru SAC, Jorge Bravo Robles, signed the investment agreement.
The commercial operation of the first 2,000 PV plants is scheduled for August 2015.
Meanwhile at least 149,000 facilities are expected to be operational by August 2016.
An additional number of installations, which would bring the total to 500,000, is expected by December 2018 and this would supply electricity to the same number of households and to more than 2,000 schools.
