Another 681GWh of small hydro power schemes no greater than 20MWis also being sought.

Last year, through its first renewables tender, Peru signedenergy contracts for an installed capacity of 249.4MW, or 887GWhannually, though it had anticipated contracting about twice asmuch: 500MW, or 1.3 terawatt hours a year.

Biomass power, in particular, proved to be an unexpectedletdown, with just 27.4MW, or 143GWh, sold, despite a call for813GWh.
