Wind Power Enters Argentinean Energy Grid

Posted October 08, 2008 9:55 AM

From TreeHugger:

So far mainly fed by fossil fuels, hydroelectric, and nuclear power, the Argentinean energy grid is now incorporating clean energy from the Antonio Moran wind park, located in the southern province of Chubut. The park was born in 1994 with only two windmills to feed a small town, and has grown up to become the largest in South America so far. It has a total of 26 windmills and an annual production of 60.9 million KWH.

Look in Google Earth

You can see those windmills right if you enter the Search Terms: Parque eolico Antonio Moran

Of course because it's a satellite photo, the rotors do not appear to be turning.

The tracks appear to show there are many more wind turbines yet to be installed in that location.

Kind Regards....
