Peruvian company to build $240 million wind farm

Peru's government says renewable energy company Iberoperuana Inversiones SAC is developing a $240 million, 240 megawatt wind farm on Peru's southern coast.

Iberoperuana is building the wind farm in the district of Paracas and inaugurated the first turbine of the wind park just recently.

Iberoperuana Inversiones is a Peruvian company with Peruvian and Spanish capital that began operating in 2007 with initial support from Spanish Wind Iberica SA.
