Chamical Solar II (10 MW) and Ceres I (20 MW) solar projects request access to Argentina's electricity transmission capacity
Type: Development · Technology: Solar · Country: Argentina · Capacity: 30 MW · Announced: 2026-03-10
Argentina's ENRE is reviewing requests for 30 MW of solar transmission capacity from Chamical Solar II (10 MW) and Ceres I (20 MW). Both projects, previously authorized for.
Analysis
Two solar projects totaling 30 MW are taking a crucial step towards grid integration in Argentina, with Chamical Solar II (10 MW) and Ceres I (20 MW) now requesting transmission capacity. Having already secured authorization to enter the Wholesale Electricity Market (MEM), these projects are moving past the regulatory hurdle of ENRE's public diffusion process. Their connection to the Argentine Interconnection System (SADI) at 13.2 kV and 33 kV, respectively, marks a tangible progression for renewable energy development in La Rioja and Santa Fe, with Buenos Aires-based CAMMESA overseeing the broader market administration.
