en.Wedoany.com Reported - The National Gas and Electricity Regulatory Authority (ENReGE) of Argentina has approved the connection of two photovoltaic power plants to the electricity transmission system, with a total installed capacity of 32 MW. The two plants are Chamical Solar I (8 MW) in La Rioja Province and Aluar Abasto (24 MW) in the city of La Plata, Buenos Aires Province.
The connection application for Chamical Solar I was submitted by the La Rioja Provincial Electricity Distribution Company (EDELAR) on behalf of the project, aiming to connect the plant to the Argentine Interconnection System (SADI). The connection point is located on the Chamical-Punta de los Llanos 33 kV high-voltage line (Number EP21) under EDELAR's jurisdiction, at a voltage level of 33 kV. After completing the corresponding public dissemination process and receiving no objections or alternative proposals, the regulatory authority approved the connection application under ENRE Resolution No. 217/2026, with Articles 5 and 6 specifying the technical and commercial licensing conditions for the connection.
The National Gas and Electricity Regulatory Authority (formerly ENReGE) had already published in April of this year the connection plan submitted by EDELAR in its capacity as an Additional Provider of the Technical Transport Function (Prestador Adicional de la Función Técnica de Transporte). During that phase, the process established a statutory period for interested parties to raise objections or propose alternatives regarding the plant's connection to the SADI.
In another case, ENReGE approved the request from Aluar Aluminio Argentino to connect its Aluar Abasto photovoltaic plant, located in the city of La Plata, to the transmission capacity. The plant's connection to the SADI will be carried out through the 33 kV medium-voltage busbar of the Kaiser substation (Subestación Transformadora Kaiser) within the EDELAP concession area, with EDELAP assuming the role of PAFTT (Additional Provider of the Technical Transport Function). This approval was also granted after the statutory period for submitting comments by relevant parties had expired. Under Article 5 of the regulations, Aluar Aluminio Argentino must meet the technical requirements set by EDELAP and CAMMESA.
The Aluar Abasto project had previously been mentioned in a survey involving four solar plants with a total capacity of nearly 60 MW that had applied for transmission capacity connection. Earlier this month, Aluar, Argentina's primary aluminum producer, announced the start of construction for this plant. Located in the Abasto area of La Plata city, the plant covers 55 hectares and will install 44,550 photovoltaic modules, with an expected annual power generation exceeding 55,200 MWh.
