Peru Project: 2 Off-Grid EMS for isolated communities in Peru

Two villages in Peru, Requena and Tamshiyacu, have been powered without interruption by renewable energy since late 2024. This key milestone in the fight against global warming was made possible by hybrid renewable power plants connected to two off-grid EMS and storage containers provided by Agregio Solutions. As a result, 28,000 residents will be able to benefit from an uninterrupted power supply while cutting CO2 emissions by almost 120,000 tons over the next 20 years.

Off-Grid EMS and stationary storage batteries: a winning combination for isolated sites

The Off-Grid EMS is an intelligent solution specially designed for isolated sites. It ensures the quality of the electricity supply while maximizing the use of renewable energies. The Off-Grid EMS controls all the equipment on a hybrid site with storage.

Combined with a BESS, it guarantees optimized electricity production and/or consumption for a site that is 100% disconnected from the national grid, as well as uninterrupted access to electricity.

At the Tamshiyacu site, approximately 3,600 solar panels and a 1.5 MW storage container are controlled by the Off-Grid EMS. The installation secures and increases the penetration rate of renewable energies to almost 20% in this isolated community.

In Requena, the Off-Grid EMS controls just over 12,850 solar panels connected to a storage system comprising 864 battery modules. Through this installation, the power station ensures an uninterrupted supply of electricity and a renewable energy share of almost 60%.

A project serving both development and the environment

This project, led by Agregio Solutions, Amazonas Energia Solar and Novum, represents a major step forward for communities in the Peruvian Amazon. Thanks to these new installations, 28,000 people now have access to a continuous, renewable power supply, improving their quality of life and facilitating the operation of essential services such as health centers, schools and businesses.

 

In addition to improving quality of life, these new installations will enable these micro-grids to reduce their dependence on diesel generators by almost 60%, representing a reduction of 120,000 tons of CO2 over 20 years of operation. The project therefore contributes to the decarbonization of the Peruvian Amazon and reinforces the commitment to a sustainable energy future in the region.

 

This achievement demonstrates the potential of one of Agregio Solutions’ core competencies, the combination of a stationary storage battery with an Off-Grid EMS. For local communities, these new installations represent an opportunity for sustainable development.
