The project will last for 10 years and the electricity will come from the Pampa del Infierno photovoltaic park, located in the province of Chaco, the third largest in the country and the largest in the region. Telecom Argentina, the telephone company that operates the northern part of the country, has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with MSU Green Energy for the supply of 60,000 MWh of solar energy per year for the next 10 years. The energy will come from the Pampa del Infierno solar park, located in the province of Chaco, the third largest and the largest in the northeast region. Telecom Argentina announced in a statement that with this new agreement it will be investing a total of around 14 million dollars annually to supply sustainable energy from different sources. It also states that it represents 17.5% of the companys total energy consumption, a fact relative to the fact that it is part of the information and communications technology industry, a sector with high energy consumption. This agreement, it is stated, will allow supplying more than 100 operational buildings of Telecom distributed throughout its network. The company seeks to achieve 50% supply from renewable sources by 2030, with the goal of decarbonizing its operations. The Pampa del Infierno solar park, in operation since August 2024, has an installed capacity of 130 MW and 220,300 solar panels deployed on 320 hectares, with the capacity to generate 295 thousand MWh per year. In February of that year, the signing of a 10-year energy purchase agreement between MSU Green Energy and the automotive company Volkswagen Group Argentina was announced to supply its Pacheco Industrial Center, located in the province of Buenos Aires, with energy from two photovoltaic plants, one of which is the aforementioned Pampa del Infierno, and the other Las Lomas, of 40 MW, located in the province of La Rioja. |
