When consulted, Governor Sergio Ziliotto stressed that “the development of La Pampa goes through the coordination between the public sector and the private sector”, highlighting that the provincial government offers a favorable environment for productive investment. The implementation of this solar park is supported by the Tax Incentives Law, which encourages investment in the sector by providing benefits and legal security to investors, generating a framework conducive to local economic growth.
