"Argentina has a national industry for the production of solar thermal tanks, but not for the manufacture of panels, inverters or batteries, despite the fact that the country has one of the largest reserves in the world, the main component. But we are confident that international prices will go down and drive demand," he said.
The April-June trimester saw the commissioning of two wind farms in Buenos Aires province, four solar photovoltaic plants in Cordoba and San Juan, and one landfill biogas thermal power plant in Santa Fe. The wind farms are the 27-MW Pampa Energia III and the 18-MW El Mataco III.
The plant will generate 15 megawatts per year, which means it will produce lithium batteries capable of powering 2500 households. The batteries are envisaged for use in rural areas. For example, there is already a Buenos Aires province-backed project to supply the Paulino-Berisso island, home to 70 families who are currently off the power grid.
Excelerate Energy , a U.S. company that provides storage and regasification services for liquefied natural gas globally, could complete its planned gas liquefaction plant in Argentina by 2025, according to an executive.
The solar farms are the 68.11-MW Zonda I, the 31.89-MW Zonda IB, the 17-MW Cura Brochero and the 8-MW Cura Brochero Ampliacion. The biogas power plant brought 3.12 MW. At the end of the second quarter, Argentina had 5,393 MW of installed renewable energy capacity across 202 operational plants.
