The $540 million investment in energy storage isn’t just about keeping the lights on in Buenos Aires. It’s a strategic bet on a more flexible, reliable, and sustainable energy future for Argentina – and potentially, a blueprint for the entire region. What role will energy storage play in your country’s energy transition?
Argentina’s vast solar, wind, and hydroelectric renewable energy potential, give it the possibility to decarbonize its power sector and support its COP26 goal of increasing the share of renewable energy in its national energy matrix to 30 percent by 2030.
Argentina is simultaneously planning over $1 billion in investments to expand its electricity transmission network, a project vital for reinforcing supply and accommodating future growth. This dual approach – storage for immediate resilience and transmission upgrades for long-term capacity – is a smart strategy.
Argentina stands before a significant ‘green window of opportunity’ (GWO) (Lebdioui, 2024), a moment where its abundant renewable resources could serve as the basis for a new development model.
