Grupo JR Ortiz has successfully completed the construction of one of the largest photovoltaic plants in Peru, marking a significant milestone in its regional expansion. Located in the department of Arequipa, known for its exceptional solar radiation, this 100 MW plant is positioned as the third largest renewable facility in the country, reinforcing Grupo JR Ortiz's position as a leader in the renewable energy sector in Latin America.
Located in the Mollendo desert and recently connected, the plant will provide enough renewable energy to supply the national electrical system, equivalent to the consumption of approximately 62,000 homes. In addition to this energy impact, it will boost the local economy through job creation and the implementation of community development programs, promoting sustainable growth for the Arequipa region.
"The connection of our first photovoltaic plant in Peru is a significant milestone that reflects the hard work and dedication of our team. This achievement not only strengthens our operational capacity, but also demonstrates the trust placed in us by our customers and partners. We are committed to continuing to advance our mission towards a cleaner and more sustainable future, generating a positive impact on local communities and economies," explains José Ramón Ortiz, President of the conglomerate.
Commitment to Sustainability and Community Development
The construction of the photovoltaic plant in Mollendo not only demonstrates the solid technical and financial capacity of Grupo JR Ortiz, but also its firm dedication to sustainability and the reduction of carbon emissions. This specific project reinforces the group's firm commitment to decarbonization and the fight against climate change, contributing significantly to avoiding the emission of 56,092 tons of CO2 annually. Likewise, the company actively promotes clean technologies and supports local development through job creation and the implementation of social responsibility programs. In addition, the plant will contribute to diversifying Peru's energy matrix, strengthening national energy security and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
Vision and Future Expansion
JR Ortiz Group has consolidated its presence in Latin America with the recent construction of 1 GW in the region. Along with the United States and Europe, these areas are fundamental to the operations of the company, which has ambitious expansion plans. Currently, the company has 1,000 MW connected, which has generated more than 250 direct jobs in Latin America. This growth reflects the conglomerate's commitment to sustainable development and its ability to adapt to future energy needs, facilitating regional economic growth and strengthening local communities through the creation of job opportunities and the promotion of clean technologies.
