Even as Argentina tries to restart its wider renewables programme, it postponed its latest tender for 350MW of wind and solar – known as MiniRen – by two months to the end of May after making several changes to the rules.

The decision comes as the government restarted tendering of a key transmission line earlier this month, and with the energy ministry reportedly talking about a fourth renewables procurement round, raising hopes that large-scale procurement is set to ramp back up.
