ARGENTINA: Wind Farm Antonio Moran, first one to enter the National Electricity Market.

It was published on past September 23rd, that the wind farm Antonio Moran, which belongs to the Sociedad Cooperativa Popular Limitada de Comodoro (SCPL), was admitted as an agent for the National Wholesale Electricity Market; this happened through the resolution 1.064/2008 of the Energy Secretary, under the Ministry of Federal Planning, Public Investment and Services of Argentina.

This event is important because the wind farm becomes the first wind generator agent in Argentina, and it is enabled to deliver energy to consumers.

So, the point of attachment to the National Integrated System (NIS) is in bars of 13.2 KW of the Transformer Station Barrio San Martin.

The resolution has as a consequence that wind power will be incorporated into transmission lines throughout the Argentine Electricity Market, entering renewable energies to the national energy matrix.

It should be noted that Comodoro has the biggest wind farm in Argentina, with 26 turbines; 10 of them produce 22.900,000 KW / year, and 16 other new turbines, totaling 38.000.000 of annual production.
