Chamical Solar II (10 MW) and Ceres I (20 MW) solar projects request access to Argentina's electricity transmission capacity
30 MW
Capacity
The ENRE of Argentina has publicized requests for access to electricity transmission capacity for two photovoltaic projects: Chamical Solar II (10 MW) in La Rioja and Ceres I (20 MW) in Santa Fe. Both projects, which previously received authorization to enter the Wholesale Electricity Market (MEM), seek to connect to the Argentine Interconnection System (SADI). Chamical Solar II will connect at 13.2 kV and Ceres I at 33 kV, with both subject to a public diffusion process for observations and alternative proposals.

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.
- 30 MW combined solar capacity (10 MW Chamical Solar II, 20 MW Ceres I).
- Projects previously authorized for Argentina's Wholesale Electricity Market (MEM).
- ENRE publicizing requests for transmission access to the Argentine Interconnection System (SADI).
