These are all shown in Table 10. Table 10.

Does Peru have a good model of wind energy development?

It is necessary for Peru to consider as a reference the successful models of wind energy development implemented in neighboring Latin American countries, with the cases of Mexico, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, and Chile being references in this matter, countries in which there are an important number of wind farms in operation [46, 47, 48, 49, 50].

Why is wind energy so important in Peru?

It was the first to be installed and operated in the Andes mountain range of Peru, a geographically strategic place due to its exceptional meteorological conditions for the generation of this type of energy, with around 5000 net hours of wind per year.
