Project Overview

Argentina has abundant renewable energy resources, with year-round sunshine in the northwest region, where this project is located. However, the country is behind its smaller neighbours when turning these resources into a reliable power source. Instead, Argentina relies heavily on fossil-fuel based power and the national grid operates at near capacity, leaving Buenos Aires and other cities prone to blackouts.

Solution Description

The Genneia Solar Projects In Argentina project implements three grid-connected solar farms near Villa Ibánez, San Juan. Using solar technology, it generates renewable electricity fed into Argentina’s national grid. This clean energy displaces fossil fuel generation, enhances grid stability, and supports regional energy demands through a distributed, renewable  power supply system.

Impact

The project aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by displacing fossil fuel power generation, contributing to climate change mitigation. It is expected to improve local air quality and energy reliability. The initiative seeks to  support sustainable growth of Argentina’s electricity sector, potentially enhancing environmental and social well-being in the region.
