en.Wedoany.com Reported - The province of Buenos Aires plans to add eight new distributed photovoltaic power stations by 2027, located in different municipalities. Five projects are currently under construction, while the remaining three have entered the bidding phase. These stations are part of the province's solar distributed generation program, jointly promoted by the Undersecretariat of Energy of Buenos Aires Province and the Buenos Aires Provincial Regional Electricity Forum (FREBA), and implemented under the Provincial Distributed Generation Incentive Program (PROINGED).
The five photovoltaic power stations under construction are located in Alberti, the town of 16 de Julio in Azul, Pehuen-Có in Coronel Rosales, Pipinas in Punta Indio, and San Cayetano. Among them, the stations in San Cayetano and Pehuen-Có will also be equipped with battery energy storage systems to meet specific load demands and seasonal electricity consumption patterns of the local grid. These stations under construction will collectively provide 3.5 MWp of photovoltaic power generation capacity and 2,900 kWh of energy storage capacity. The goal is to improve energy supply in areas with limited power access and support growing electricity demand through distributed renewable energy generation.
The three projects in the bidding phase are located in Castilla, Chacabuco; Marisol, Coronel Dorrego; and Gorchs, General Belgrano. The Castilla station, with a designed capacity of 400 kWp, will be operated by the Chacabuco Electric Cooperative, aiming to address power supply bottlenecks at the end of the line—an area with poor grid conditions that directly affect power quality. The Marisol station will feature 200 kWp of photovoltaic capacity and a 1,500 kWh energy storage system, while the Gorchs station will have 400 kWp of capacity paired with a 1,600 kWh battery storage system. These two projects aim to alleviate pressure on the extensive and dispersed distribution network, serving multiple user types including residential, agricultural production, and industrial electricity consumption.
This solar distributed generation program primarily targets towns with weak power infrastructure, especially areas at the end of transmission or distribution networks—where power quality and continuity are directly affected by upstream faults or constraints. According to the plan, these projects are expected to be connected to the grid and operational by 2027. By then, the total number of operational solar power stations in Buenos Aires Province will increase to 34, with total installed photovoltaic capacity reaching 12 MWp. Overall, all stations associated with this program can generate approximately 21,000 MWh of electricity annually, equivalent to the yearly electricity consumption of about 7,000 households in Buenos Aires Province.
