They live next to Peru's largest solar complex - so why are they still in the dark?
The villagers of Icaoma live adjacent to what is reportedly the largest solar complex in all of Peru. Yet, despite the enormous electricity capacity right at their fingertips, they still have been living in the dark.
The installation of the solar complex, capable of producing 48 megawatts, could provide reliable energy to many, but Icaoma's villagers are still sitting in the dark. Although the surrounding infrastructure is in place, the literal connection from the complex to the village remains a final step.
An official from the energy company, Juan Carlos Rodriguez, stated that the primary holdup is an inability to obtain the necessary permits from the Ministry of Energy and Mining. The Ministry, for their part, claims that the company has not submitted the proper paperwork for approval. This impasse leaves the villagers of Icaoma stuck in the dark, with no clear resolution in sight.
