In line with Zelestra's commitment to support its customers in the decarbonisation of their operations, the long-term PPA will ensure Celepsa receives approximately 450 GWh of renewable energy annually, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency.

The PPA will enable the construction of a new 238 MWdc solar power project in Peru.  The new project, combined with the San Martín project that will come into operation in the next couple months, means Zelestra now has a contracted portfolio of over 530 MWdc in the country.

“This agreement reflects our firm commitment to work strategically with our customers to offer tailor-made solutions, as well as our commitment to the Peruvian market” said José Luis García, CEO of Zelestra Latam. “We are proud to contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions in the country and to promote continued socio-economic development through the delivery of new projects and the creation of new jobs.”

According to Eduardo Rivas, General Manager of Celepsa, the contract includes I-REC certificates, guaranteeing the renewable origin of the energy.
