Madryn: starts operating the largest wind farm in the country
CAMMESA today awarded the commercial operation of the second stage of the Wind Farm Madryn. With this milestone, Madryn becomes the largest wind farm in Argentina.
The total investment amounts to USD 320 million. The total installed capacity of 222.3 MW is. This park reaffirms the leadership of Genneia, which has over 40% share of the wind.
The energy will be evacuated through the ET500, work of which participated Genneia and is operational since September 3.
. Buenos Aires, September 26, 2019 In an area of ??over 6,000 hectares on Provincial Route 4, in the province of Chubut, stands the Wind Farm Madryn (PEM); with its 62 turbines -of 117 meters high and 60 meters blades clean energy length- there is produced to the Argentine Interconnection System (SADI), supplying the equivalent of more than 330,000 households. These numbers make Madryn Argentina's largest wind farm, one of the largest in South America and one of the most important projects for Genneia.
To develop this park, the company invested 320 million, generating at the peak of the project more than 300 jobs and entrusted its technology to the Danish company Vestas, whose turbines transform the wind of Patagonia in green energy. The park has a factor average capacity of 51% and winds blowing at an average of 8.6 m / s, features that will generate him 987,000 MWh annual energy and care for the planet avoiding the emission of 495,000 tons of carbon the atmosphere.
Authorized by CAMMESA, today was put into operation the second phase of Madryn, which has a power of 150 MW. The first 70 MW, began operating less than a year, on 1 November. Genneia undertook the phased construction and development achieved in record time for projects of this nature, meeting high international standards. The PPA was signed in May 2016 under Resolution 202 of the Ministry of Energy and the National Mining and Development Plan of Renewable Energies established by laws 26,190 and 27,191. Thus, the so-called Wind Farm Madryn has a total installed capacity of 220 MW.
"When the years pass, we know that we are part of the history of renewable energy generation in the country. And proudly say that we were part of the team that managed Genneia that renewable energy is definitely installed in Argentina, "said Walter Woolly, CEO of the company.
This is the fourth wind active Genneia Chubut where operations have Rawson windfarms (108 MW), Chubut North (28MW) and Trelew (50 MW); and developing projects for more than 160 MW. The so-called "Node Madryn" has a total installed capacity of 410 MW. The amount of gross investments Genneia in renewable energy in Chubut reaches 400 million dollars, and if the remaining projects involving the provinces of Rio Black, Buenos Aires and San Juan, reaches 1,000 million in adds the period 2018-2020.
500/132 kV transformer station
During the first days of September was put into operation the ET500, a very important work for Genneia because it allows energy office Madryn Wind Park and other wind assets Genneia in the province. Investment it took for the development of the ET500 amounted to 55 million dollars.
Construction, installation and commissioning of the ET is a joint development of Genneia and the company Goldwind to Transener. Since early this month, 500 kV station started to be operated by Transener. The process included the energization of the new facility, the bank power transformer 500/132 / 34.5 kV MVA 600 and phase reserve, one of the largest equipment installed in the country.
About Genneia:
Genneia is a leader in providing sustainable energy solutions, which exceeds the horizon of the 1,200 MW power generation in Argentina. It owns more than 40% of installed capacity in wind energy, making it the number one in the sector.
The company has a superior power to 570 MW of wind power with wind farms Rawson I, II and III, Trelew, Madryn I and II, Chubut North I and Villalonga I and II, Pomona I and II; and exceeds 660 MW renewable energy, solar farms considering its Ullum 1, 2 and 3 (82 MW) in the province of San Juan.
In addition, it is building wind projects Chubut Norte II (26 MW); Chubut North III (57 MW) and North Chubut IV (MW 83) in conjunction with Pan American Energy; Winds Wind Park in partnership with Central Necochea Atlantic Coast and a biomass power plant in Florida, Tucuman, by 19 MW. It also owns and operates 7 thermal generators (615 MW).
Fact Sheet
We are Genneia. We keep the world moving through the development and operation centers, electric power generation from various sources with a strong commitment to the environment and regional momentum.
In our centers of renewable generation, we transform the inexhaustible resources of nature in clean energy, abundant and low cost of production.
Some interesting facts:
Rawson Wind Farm, located in the province of Chubut, was the first large-scale park deliver energy to the SADI in 2012; and the first to provide energy to large users in the context of the Term Market Renewable Energy (MATER), in January 2018, subscribing to a contract for 20 years.
In the last eleven months we put into operation ten renewable projects: seven wind in the provinces of Buenos Aires (Villalonga I and II), Chubut (Madryn I, II and Chubut North I), Rio Black (Pomona I and II ) and three plots in the province of San Juan (Ullum I, II and III).
Our investment in renewable projects amounts to 1,200 million dollars, which will allow us to achieve greater than 800 MW power in late 2020.
