In
February,
Peru
had
hoped
to
contract
an
installed
capacity
of
500
megawatts
(MW),
or
1.3
terawatt
hours
a
year,
but
closed
deals
for
just
249.4MW,
or
887
gigawatt
hours
(GWh).
Biomass
was
a
particular
problem
area
—
despite
high
expectations,
as
it
was
perceived
to
be
cheaper
than
wind
or
solar.
But
just
27.4MW,
or
143GWh,
were
sold,
although
813GWh
had
been
required.
Some
80MW,
or
173GWh,
of
solar-photovoltaic
energy
was
sold
—
96%
of
the
181GWh
required
—
but
wind
excelled
with
142MW,
or
571GWh,
sold
—
more
than
twice
