The eolic energy production in Argentina has grown remarkably due to the construction of major eolic Parks, which primarily rely on energy-rich Patagonian winds in order to generate renewable energy.
The eolic energy development is regarded as one of the Argentine priorities in terms of renewable energy sources.There currently exist a number of companies which, supported by the local and provincial governments, engage in the construction of huge eolic parks aiming at such parks joining the already existing facilities located in Patagonia and the Southern region of Buenos Aires. Likewise, this activity is governed by Act Nº 26.190 (National Development Scheme for the Use of Renewable Energy).
Argentina has become the ideal scenario to generate this type of renewable energy due to the suitable eolic-energy generating natural conditions- the ongoing and steady winds blowing in different country areas, mainly in the Southern Argentine region- the creation of institutions in charge of promoting this eolic energy-related actvity like the Argentine Association on Eolic Energy - (AAEE) and the Argentine Chamber of Wind Generators (for its Spanish accronym CADGE)-, and the strong investments made in eolic projects - such as the construction of the Malaspina Eolic park in the province of Chubut.
