Peru's mining and energy supervisory agency Osinergmin has published an international public call inviting companies to take part in an auction for the construction of photovoltaic solar energy systems to 500,000 users in off-grid regions of the country.

The systems will be installed in the coastal, forest and mountainous regions of Peru and electricity services will be provided for a period of 15 years.

The successful bidder is expected to supply the PV systems to a minimum of 55,000 homes, 1,200 schools and 280 health centers in northern Peru; 57,000 homes, 650 schools and 175 health centers in central Peru; and 47,000 homes, 410 schools and 175 health centers in southern Peru.
