There are only two weeks left to go future Energy Summit (FES) Argentinaa mega event that will take place at the Emperador Hotel in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA) and will bring together more than 400 executives, investors and leaders from the region.
The summit agenda is gradually taking shape, and by March 11, it has already been confirmed AES Argentina, Central Puerto, Telener 360, Nordex, Goldwind Argentina and Vestas will participate in the event. An ideal space to discuss key issues of the energy sector.
These large companies in the industry will be part of the committee called “Main aspects of wind energy development in Argentina”There, the vision for the future will expand Of these big players in this sector, Taking into account its role in the market and that wind technology totals 3,706 MW, representing just over 62% of the country’s operational renewable energy matrix.
Martin Geneseo, The President and CEO of AES Argentina will be the person who analyzes the challenges and opportunities for the company, which during 2023 has realized that it has More than 1,000 MW have been developed in wind energy projects and about 200 MW of solar energy In different parts of the country.
Moreover, in the same year, AES Argentina signed contracts to expand the wind farm in Bahía Blanca and celebrated 30 years of its presence in the country with Announcing the disbursement of $90 million to expand the Vientos Bonaires wind power plant (from 99 MW to 153 MW), located in the city of Turnquest, Buenos Aires Province.
From Central Puerto, its director of renewable energies, Robin Omar Lopezwill be the person who will present at the third panel of the Future Energy Summit in Argentina regarding Renewable energy strategy in the electricity generation matrix.
The company has developed the La Castellana, Achiras, Manque, Los Olivos and La Genoveva I and 2 wind farms (with a total capacity of 374 MW), while in 2023 it acquired its first solar power plant (Guañizuil 2A – 117 MW) and announced that it is analyzing investment alternatives that aim to increase its performance in the renewable energy market, whether from wind energy or photovoltaic energy.
Maximos IakonisCountry Director of Telener 360 in Argentina, will repeat his presence at the event organized by FES. After what happened in LATAM Southern Cone Future Energy Renewable Summit (Held in November in Santiago).
There, the company, which provides engineering solutions in the field of renewable energy, communications and supporting structures, confirmed that Argentina will remain a focus of attention for the coming years, a country in which it erected wind resource towers in 7 parks between 2017 and 2020.
Nordex will also be present at the summit and LATAM’s Vice President, Marcus Cardacciwill be presented in the third session of the day to discuss the main aspects of wind energy development in Argentina.
The wind turbine manufacturer is one of the world’s leading companies, and despite the financial and political obstacles in Argentina, it sees a huge opportunity, and if the entire region is added (excluding Brazil), Nordex has several projects under construction that add up to about 1,600 MW. .
Fernando Reasales director for Goldwind Argentina, will be another big name that will be on the first stop of the 2024 Future Energy Summit tour, given that it is working 350 MW renewable in the country.
So there will definitely be a focus on how to progress in the market next Exceeding 100 GW of installed wind capacity worldwide And in Establish sustainable relationships with supply chain and local industry players.
while Andres Gismondi, cRegional Director of Vestas, closes the list of committee members who will address prospects for this year, taking into account that the company has carried out work Studies indicate that there will be more than 41 gigawatts in new wind energy projects until 2032 within Latin America.
But in the case of Argentina, Vestas has already forecast this, after exceeding 2.5 GW of orders in the countryfocuses on increasing renewable energy penetration They had to be in Development of new transmission lines, green hydrogen, and market development that allows users to connect with generators and/or energy marketers through power purchase contracts.
So all these issues and more will be discussed on Monday in March at the Future Energy Summit in Argentina, in addition to the fact that the summit organized by the Friedrich Ebert Foundation will serve as a space to highlight regulatory opportunities and explore new businesses and sustainable investments down the road. for the regional energy transition.
