These are figures that can be obtained by comparing Cammesas reports for the month of that year with the previous one. Currently, solar power has a presence of 1,673 MW. From the comparison of the latest monthly report on sector variables issued by Cammesa (Compañía Administración del Mercado Mayorista Eléctrico Sociedad Anónima), the company in charge of operating the wholesale electricity market in Argentina, corresponding to the month of December 2024, with the same for 2023, it can be inferred that in the last year the installed photovoltaic capacity totaled 307 MW. Compared to the 1,366 MW of solar power installed at the end of 2023, this additional amount represents 22.4% more; therefore, by December 2024, Argentina has installed 1,673 MW of photovoltaic power. It should be remembered that a few days ago it was learned that distributed generation reached 58.9 MW in 2024 , according to data from the Ministry of Energy, adding 28 MW of installed capacity last year, from 2,290 generating units, with the commercial-industrial segment covering 78.1% of the total. Overall, the country has an installed capacity of 43,351 MW, of which 58% is thermal and 38% renewable, including hydroelectric power. The capacity corresponding to Law 26,190, which only includes renewable sources and hydroelectric power of up to 50 MW, represents 15% of the total installed capacity. Thus, in addition to photovoltaics, renewables are distributed as follows: 4,319 MW of wind power; 524 MW of hydropower (up to 50 MW); 82 MW of biogas; and 73 MW of biomass. The remainder is distributed between hydroelectric (greater than 50 MW), with 9,639 MW; thermal, 25,284 MW; and nuclear, 1,755 MW. The region with the greatest installed solar power is the Argentine Northwest-NOA (with 850 MW, where it represents 19%), followed by Cuyo (565 MW, 24%), Argentine Northeast-NEA (130 MW), Center (118 MW, 3%) and Comahue (10 MW). |
