Buen Power Peru Announces USAID Grant to bring Solar Lights to 10,000 rural Peruvians

Buen Power Peru (BPP), a solar energy enterprise co-founded by an American engineer and a Peruvian entrepreneur, has just announced its intention to bring solar lights to approximately 10,230 low-income Peruvians with Stage 1 support from USAID’s Development Innovation Ventures (DIV). Buen Power Peru will receive $99,992 in grants as part of the Innovation Fund for the Americas (IFA), the Americas arm of DIV launched in 2012 by President Obama at the VI Summit of the Americas. BPP will use funding to build a network of local teachers in largely inaccessible Andean, Alpine communities to distribute clean, renewable solar light to those without access to traditional sources of electricity.
