The landscapes that extend throughout the Argentine territory marvel at the world. They offer incredible views, diversity of ecosystems and unique opportunities for adventure tourism and contemplation. While they are not as popular, deserts such as the Patagonian desert, the Mount’s desert, and Las Salinas Grandes, among others, are also drawing the attention of other countries. Canada surprised everyone, trusts these deserts to produce huge amounts of energy.
The commitment to increasingly strong Argentina
The shortage of energy in the world is no novelty. After the huge blackouts in Europe, and in Chile in recent times, the states wonder how to face the high level of consumption and energy demand. Since while technology advances with giant steps, devouring large amounts of energy, the latter cannot follow the rhythm.
In this context, the search for development and implementation of renewable energy to different production processes is key to addressing The problem of scarcity. With a sustainable approach, it aims to produce energy in the most efficient way with the least possible impact. Energy sources that are renewed naturally and continuously, such as sun, wind, water and heat of the earth represent the energy future.
Argentina, on the other hand has different projects with renewables within its territory. In a context of great uncertainty globally, the confidence of this Canadian company surprised everyone. Canadian Solar confirmed that he will continue to consolidate his strategy in Argentina since he considers that he offers a wide margin for the growth of renewable energy.
Canadian Solar’s key role in the country’s energy transition
The company is very important with a global presence and has a solid financial support. According to his recent announcement that amazed the world, he seeks to accompany the country in this process of energy transformation. In this regard, he clarifies that he is not only interested in the production of Photovoltaic energy, but could also provide energy storage solutions through Bess systems (Battery Energy Storage Systems).
In fact, they currently have developments within the country, which accounts for the key role of this company so that Argentina quickly advances towards the so -called energy transition. In this sense, you can mention the Solar Park in Cafayate, province of Salta, Argentina. Built in 2019 with a capacity of 100 MW. In addition, it generated employment for about 200 people during its construction.
For its part, Douglas Guillen From Canadian Solar assures that they see in Argentina a huge potential. While they recognize that it is a market that faces important structural challenges, it is also a unique opportunity due to its natural conditions with an important margin to achieve the development of renewables.
Challenges
However, the road is not exempt from difficulties. From the company they note that the lack of adequate infrastructure is one of the main challenges since they stop the possible new renewable generation projects. For this they propose to focus on a long -term strategic planning to sustain the growth of the sector. In addition, they observe that best rates for investments would be a great incentive.
An initiative that can strengthen the interest of companies such as Canadian Solar in continuing to develop projects in the country can be Almagba tender, aimed at incorporating 500 MW of batteries in the metropolitan area of Buenos Aires (AMBA), through the Edenor and Edesur network. The objective is to reinforce the infrastructure to avoid the disastrous cuts during demand peaks in summer. On the other hand, this great bet of Canada in Argentina, surprised everyone. Renewable energies are sources that are part of the future and hope that the country will continue to consolidate in this path.
