He National Electricity Regulatory Entity (ENRE) stressed that he authorized access to 500 megawatts (MW) of renewable energies to the Argentine Interconnection System (SADI), from September 2022 to date.
Since the beginning of his administration in September, the ENRE controller, Walter Martello, has authorized 13 accesses to the existing electricity transmission capacity for new generation from renewable energies in seven provinces, the agency reported in a statement.
The authorizations cover seven photovoltaic solar parks, five wind farms and a thermal plant that works from biomass, which together incorporate 502.73 MW of installed power to SADI.
These are the 10 MW La Cumbre III photovoltaic solar parks, located in the province of San Luis; Pocito (5.03 MW) and Sierras de Ullum (78 MW), in San Juan; Cafayate, in Salta, which will increase its power by 5 MW; Cura Brochero, with 17 MW, and Valle del María de Río Seco, with 20 MW, in Córdoba; and El Alamito, with 3 MW, in Neuquén.
For their part, the wind farms are El Mataco II (100.8 MW), de la Buena Ventura (105MW), De la Bahía (50.4 MW), Vivoratá (50MW) and Vientos Bonaerenses (49.5 MW), all located in the province of Buenos Aires.
In addition, the 9 MW expansion of the Ledesma Thermal Power Plant in Jujuy, which works from biomass, a product of waste from the sugar industry, was authorized.
“These renewable generation works will improve the electricity supply of hundreds of thousands of Argentines in different areas of the national territory,” said the ENRE.
