LIMA, Peru--BUSINESS WIRE--

Inkia Energy, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Kallpa, received environmental approval for the expansion of its solar power plant currently under construction in Southern Peru, a leading global solar resource hub. The approval will bring the solar project, Sunny, from 228 MWp to 338 MWp, and is expected to be fully operational by the second half of 2025. Based in Peru, Inkia Energy is the country’s largest power generator and is controlled by global infrastructure investor I Squared Capital.

Besides Sunny, Inkia has enabled the construction of two adjacent solar projects, by signing energy and I-REC off-take agreements for these developments. With these three projects, Inkia will consolidate the energy of ‘Peru’s Solar Hub’, contributing approximately 1 GWp of renewable capacity to the National Interconnected Grid starting in the fourth quarter of 2025.

In addition, the company expects to launch two wind projects, with an aggregate capacity of at least 600 MW, in 2026. The wind developments, plus several other solar and BESS projects, will bolster the company’s position as the leading renewable energy player to supply Peru’s current and future energy needs. The initiatives reinforce Inkia’s value proposition to provide its customers with a continuous and reliable power supply produced by a combination of different renewable sources and efficient natural gas capacity, which is critical for covering renewable energy shortfalls and intermittency.

Inkia also offers several behind-the-meter energy solutions to its clients through its dedicated retail vehicle, Kondu, which has become one of the largest players in the small and medium enterprise (SME) market segment.

“Inkia is a developer at its core and was the fastest growing generation company during the last decade. The launch of Sunny marks the beginning of the Inkia 2.0 expansion campaign, aligned with Peru’s energy needs and securing Inkia as a leading energy solutions company in the country,” said Willem Van Twembeke, Inkia Energy’s CEO. “We believe that Inkia’s balanced portfolio, along with its investment grade rating, makes the company the top choice for clients in terms of reliability, both in energy and financial support.”

Politicians kneecap charities, climate in electoral power grab

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE THURSDAY 13 FEBRUARY THELABOR AND LIBERAL/NATIONAL PARTIES have cut a backroom deal to push through electoral laws that kneecap charities like the Climate Council from speaking out during elections.
