They live next to Peru’s largest solar complex – so why are they still in the dark?
Residents living near Peru’s largest solar complex in the city of Moquegua are questioning why they are still experiencing power outages despite the presence of the vast solar energy infrastructure. The solar complex, operated by a major energy company, was established to provide clean and reliable energy to the region.
According to local community members, they continue to face frequent blackouts, forcing them to rely on backup generators for power. They argue that they were promised a more stable and affordable electricity supply when the solar complex was built.
In response, the energy company stated that the intermittent power outages were due to technical issues in the distribution network, which they are working to address promptly. They reiterated their commitment to providing sustainable energy to the community.
Residents, however, remain skeptical and are calling for more transparency from the energy company regarding the operations of the solar complex and the distribution of energy in the area.
The situation highlights the challenges faced in the effective implementation of renewable energy projects and the importance of ensuring that the benefits reach the local communities.
Sources Analysis:
