A new solar energy project begins to generate December 10 | Cuyo Newspaper

The solar project Church Estancia Guañizuil, which will be one of the largest solar power plants in Argentina, will start producing energy that will contribute to the interconnected National System on 10 December. It has an installed capacity of 80 MW and will power 55,000 homes. With a total investment of $ 103 million, the works will have an estimated useful life of 30 years.

The information was known yesterday during the visit of the governor Sergio Uñac to the project Jinko Solar, owner of the company, through the company of the specified purpose (SPE) Cordillera Solar I SA It is located at the edge of the road 150 which leads to Paso de Agua Negra, 5 kilometers from Las Flores, in the region of Iglesia.

In total, 287,080 panels installed in the project will produce a type of renewable energy that will promote the development of sustainable agricultural and industrial enterprises by reducing the budget allocated to energy, reducing the emissions of dioxide carbon in the atmosphere and because of: will provide greater energy independence. That is to say that once this project is launched, not only home users will benefit, but production and the industry will also be favored.

Solar Cordillera I SA won the call for tenders relating to renewable energies of the program "Renovate Round 1.5" in November 2016 and, during the year 2017, signed the contract of approval. energy supply with the management company of the wholesale market of electricity (Cammesa). The chosen area, in the church area, was chosen for its great solar resource, being one of the best in the country and in the world.

The project includes the construction of a high-voltage electrical line of 132 kV, of a length of 16 km, ranging from the park to the connection in the Sadi, in Bauchaceta ET.

On this occasion, Governor Uñac said that "there is a climate created between the public and private sectors and a deep commitment to continue to think that the only social articulator is employment and that it is the only one in the world. that's why we are generating new market niches. "

Mayor Marcelo Marinero spoke about the contribution "to productive and economic development", while Fernando Mateo, project director Jinko, stressed that "it is the largest photovoltaic project that will be put into operation in the coming weeks on a national level".

Albardón also owns the Las Lomitas photovoltaic park, which was inaugurated at the end of October. It has a production capacity of 2.5 MW and requires an investment of 2.5 million pesos. Entrepreneurship means clean energy for more than a thousand homes and is part of the National Renewable Energy Plan, which has more than 200 such initiatives in the country. The official intention is to make renewable energies competitive.

> To Ullum

Argentina and the United States yesterday signed six letters of intent for the financing of energy works and road infrastructure, in which the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) ), a financial institution of the US government, will contribute $ 800 million of a total investment of $ 3,000 million. These include the Ullum I, II and III Solar Park Projects, located next to the Solar San Juan State Plant in Ullum.
