Yingchen Delivers Microgrid to Peru, Saving Nearly One Million in Annual Electricity Costs for the Mining Site

Jun 17,2026

As the Southern Hemisphere’s sun bathes the desert of Peru’s Marcona district, a microgrid project completed in just three months has officially been commissioned—marking Yingchen New Energy’s first microgrid project for a mining‑camp site in the region.
This is no ordinary overseas project delivery; it is Yingchen’s benchmark implementation in the mining‑site microgrid domain.
01 Project Profile
Project Location: Chinese-funded Iron Ore Camp, Marcona District, Ica Region, Peru
Installed capacity: 2 MW low-voltage microgrid
System power generation capacity: average daily output of approximately 7,700 kWh, with an annual average of about 2.81 million kWh.
Long-term returns: Over a 25-year lifecycle, cumulative power generation will be approximately 67 million kWh.
Green electricity share: meets 65% of the mine’s electricity needs for production and daily operations.

02 Why did the homeowner choose Yingchen?
The project owner is a Chinese iron‑ore company that has been operating in Peru for many years. The mine camp’s electricity‑use landscape is highly complex, encompassing mining equipment, residential power consumption, machine tools for component machining, tire retreading for mine trucks, oxygen generators, welding equipment, and more. Every kilowatt‑hour of electricity is critical to the smooth operation of both production and daily life.
✅ Significant economic benefits: Peru enjoys exceptionally abundant solar resources, with the levelized cost of photovoltaic electricity roughly half that of the local grid tariff—and in some cases as low as one-sixth to one-fifth of diesel‑generated power costs. Yingchen’s microgrid not only helps owners substantially reduce long-term electricity expenses but also effectively hedges against future electricity price increases.
✅ By replacing fossil fuels with clean energy and reducing diesel consumption, Chinese enterprises are helping their clients achieve energy‑saving and emission‑reduction goals while enhancing their brand reputation—this has become a vivid testament to how Chinese companies are putting the green development philosophy into practice overseas.
✅ Yingchen New Energy offers a one-stop service, covering everything from solution design and equipment integration to cross-border logistics, installation, and grid‑connection handover—providing end-to-end turnkey solutions. Customers simply articulate their needs and can confidently and securely access green electricity sourced from China. No need to build an in-house team or worry about operations and maintenance; Yingchen New Energy handles it all in a single, seamless package.

03 Demonstrative Significance: A “Showcase” for the Energy Transition of Mines
Peru enjoys a tropical desert climate, with abundant solar resources; its annual effective sunshine duration consistently exceeds 1,800 hours, and annual precipitation is virtually zero, making it an ideal location for developing solar energy projects.
However, many remote mining areas lack access to the power grid and have long relied on diesel generators—resulting in high costs, significant noise, and substantial carbon emissions. With the completion of this project, Yingchen not only saves the client nearly one million yuan in electricity expenses annually but also sets a benchmark for energy transition in mining regions, offering a replicable and scalable clean‑energy alternative for mines along the Belt and Road Initiative.
“Ensure that every remote mining area is powered by affordable, reliable, and green electricity.”
The Yingchen Peru project is not just a delivery—it is a promise. From China to Peru, Yingchen’s UniGo microgrid solution is lighting up a greener future for more communities.
