Wind Power in Argentina: Driven by Market Forces | with Alejandro Gesino and Stefan Gsänger

Argentina has some of the largest wind resources in the world,
but only a small proportion of these are currently being used to
generate electricity. Alongside other resources, the country has
an abundance of renewable energy. Despite going through difficult
economic times, Argentina has the potential not only to cover its
own energy needs with domestic renewable energy, but also to
start exporting hydrogen-based commodities and other energy
intensive products.


Alejandro Gesino, the recently elected President of ALTEA (the
Argentine Alliance for the Energy Transition), formerly the
Argentine Wind Energy Association, explains the current status of
the Argentinian wind power market, the barriers, and how demand
for cheap electricity is driving new investment.
