Argentina’s unregulated market accounts for a third of its fledgling 1.1GW wind sector as a growing number of companies are opting to buy energy directly through corporate power purchase agreements (PPAs) signed with generators.

The latest addition to that market, known as MATER, is the 113MW Pomona wind power complex built by local power group Genneia.

Pomona 1 and 2 will supply power to three private companies (Arlei, Meranor and Amcor) in the petrochemical and leather industries, with contract tenures ranging from 15 to 20 years.
