Argentina should reach 9GW of installed wind capacity by 2030 as the technology becomes increasingly competitive and the local industry gains momentum after its 2016 start-up, said a market expert.

“This is three times the amount of wind contracted in the first tenders in 2016 and 2017,” said Mauro Soares, CEO of OES Energía, a renewable energy consulting firm, during a webcast on ‘Doing Business in Argentina’ promoted by the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC).
