Global Infrastructure SherpaKaizen Argentina to develop 30 MW solar park expansion in Neuquén, Argentina, under public-private scheme
Kaizen Argentina will develop the expansion of the Cutral Co solar park in Neuquén, Argentina, from its current 3.5 MW to approximately 30 MW, under a public-private initiative contract. This project, announced in January 2026, marks Kaizen Argentina's first internationalization project in the country. The expansion includes the incorporation of a 30 MVA transformer, jointly financed by the province and municipality for approximately $6.5 million, to strengthen the regional grid and enable energy evacuation. This infrastructure is critical for increasing the park's connection and injection capacity into the electrical system, supporting Neuquén's strategy to diversify its energy matrix. The enhanced grid capacity will benefit Cutral Co and Plaza Huincul, improving electricity supply in an area with material hydrocarbon and industrial activity.

The expansion includes the installation of a 30 MVA transformer financed jointly by the province and municipality to increase grid connection and injection capacity. The project supports Neuquén's strategy to diversify its energy matrix and reduce electricity costs for industrial, commercial, and service sectors. The grid reinforcement will benefit Cutral Co and Plaza Huincul, areas with significant hydrocarbon and industrial activity. Construction could begin around 40 days after the announcement. Quote: 'Esta infraestructura se presenta como crítica para habilitar la ampliación, ya que incrementa la capacidad de conexión e inyección del parque al sistema eléctrico.'
