正文(英文) | Lima, Peru - Although the vision of roofs covered with solar panels can seem far away in cities like Lima, change could be closer than we think. WWF's office in Lima is the first urban WWF office in Latin America to be powered in part by renewable energy. "Renewable energy in Peru is no longer a dream, it is a reality," says Mariela Canepa, Policy Director of WWF-Peru. "Our goal is a world powered by 100% renewable energy by mid-century - we're on the way. Other countries with WWF offices powered by renewables include Australia, Belgium (2), Cameroon, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo (3), Guyanas, India, Italy, Kenya, Laos, Nepal, Netherlands, Pakistan, Peru, Switzerland (2), United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom and Vietnam. New projects for 2018 include the WWF offices in Colombia, Bolivia and Madagascar. The solar panel system in Lima, with a generation capacity of 7kW, covers about 35% of the office's current consumption. By implementing energy saving practices, staff expect to reduce consumption and increase coverage to 70%. Jean-Philippe Denruyter, project lead, said the initiative will help make WWF’s own operations more efficient while supporting the organization's global goal of a shift to renewable energy sources. Already, the project is seeing benefits. "Just three days after the panels were installed and we began an internal campaign to change habits, we reached moments of close to 100% coverage with solar," said Denruyter. "Our global goal is that by 2020, 25% of the electricity of our offices around the world will come from solar." Context
