Argentina seems to be doing everything right. First the 2015 cross-party revision of the renewables law, then the 2016 RenovAr tender programme – which resulted in huge over-subscription and declining prices – and now global OEMs are announcing local production.
Vestas was the first to announce a nacelle and hub assembly plant. This week, Nordex Group confirmed similar plans. Under the radar, the government’s news service Telám is reporting that Siemens Gamesa is considering a plant in the Bahia Blanca port region, while Recharge has learned that China’s Goldwind has at least studied the local siting of a facility in Mendoza.
