Argentina’s government this week published draft rules for its non-regulated power market that will allow consumers with demand of 2.6MWh per year or more to contract renewable energy.

The draft regulations are open for public consultations over the next three weeks. After that, the government plans to kick-start the non-regulated market in time to meet its progressive renewable energy targets starting at 8% for all consumers in 2018 and 20% in 2020.
