The Energy Secretariat of the Argentine Ministry of Economy presents a plan that proposes the import of energy and power from Brazil on critical days; the management with Paraguay to increase the exchanges of the Yacyretá hydroelectric reservoir and the design of an incentive mechanism for the availability of thermal generators.
The Energy Secretariat of the Ministry of Economy of Argentina has announced the so-called Summer Plan 2024-2025, which proposes a series of measures aimed at preventing residential users from experiencing power outages during peak demand periods.
Among the measures mentioned are the import of energy and power from Brazil on critical days; negotiations with Paraguay to increase the exchange of Yacyretá and the design of an incentive mechanism for the availability of thermal generators.
For the transport sector, it is assured that "work will be done on the availability of four backup transformers, while in the distribution segment a demand reduction management mechanism will be established for large users (industries), voluntary, scheduled and paid."
The statement said that these are "essential" measures, as the energy sector is said to be on the verge of collapse "due to a lack of investment and maintenance over the past 20 years."
In one paragraph, it states: "This is particularly compounded by the technical shutdown of the Atucha I Nuclear Power Plant during the summer; the current hydrological situation in Brazil; and the extensive heat waves that are forecast, which would require 30,700 MW, thus exceeding the historical peak of 29,653 in February this year."
It is also stated that "the national government has no plans to cut off power to residential users," as was initially implied. |
