    According to data released by the Ministry of Energy and Mines yesterday, Peru's electricity production rose 8.5 percent between April 2009 and last month. Hydroelectric stations are the main source with natural gas a distant second. About 64% of Peru's electricity comes from hydroelecric stations.

    The country turned out 2,913 gigawatt-hours last month, which is about what 3.5 million average American households use.
