The Argentine energy map is changing. More and more homes, cooperatives, and companies are betting on distributed generation, a system that allows renewable energy production —mainly solar— for self-consumption and injecting the surplus into the power grid.
Driven by Law 27.424, this model is growing across the country and is positioned as a key piece in the transition towards a cleaner and more sustainable energy system. Its expansion also raises new questions about investment, installation, and economic benefits.
Currently, Argentina has 3306 user-generators and an installed capacity exceeding 97,000 kW, according to the Secretariat of Energy. The 67% increase in less than a year demonstrates a structural change in the way electricity is produced and consumed.
This new paradigm combines efficiency, autonomy, and sustainability, consolidating a global trend towards energy decentralization.
