For decades considered peripheral in the Argentinean electrical system, Formosa is writing a new chapter in its history aiming to become a new energy hub.

Thanks to a virtuous combination of state planning and private investment, the province is moving towards a model of clean, decentralized, and sustainable energy, with solar parks distributed in eight locations and a total projection of 217 MW of installed capacity.

Previous infrastructure and public policies as the basis for change

The 500 kV and 132 kV transformer stations facilitated the arrival of renewable projects.

The case of Formosa is not isolated: it is part of a national trend towards energy sustainability, with provinces like Chaco adding solar parks that supply thousands of households.

In Formosa, the existence of strategic electrical infrastructure —the result of previous public policies— allowed private capital to find fertile ground to deploy large-scale projects.

Million-dollar investments and distributed generation

Two companies lead the energy transformation with over USD 100 million in solar projects.

• MSU Green Energy: develops the Las Lomitas Solar Park (22 MW) and operates the Ingeniero Juárez Solar Park (15 MW), which together will contribute 37 MW, with over 63,000 solar panels on 80 hectares.
• Ambientes y Energía SAS: drives a mega-project of 80 MW in Laguna Blanca, Ibarreta, and Pirané, with an estimated investment of USD 67 million.

These initiatives will reduce over 43,000 tons of CO₂ per year and supply more than 33,000 households in Formosa.

New tenders and territorial expansion

On September 30, the tender was held to select the company that will carry out the new solar parks.

Once authorized by CAMMESA, they will be added to the provincial energy ecosystem, consolidating Formosa as a solar benchmark in the NEA region.

Economic and social impact on local communities

Solar parks generate employment, boost suppliers, and strengthen regional economies.

“We revolutionize the towns where we build these parks, mobilizing the local economy and promoting development,” stated Juan Pablo Martínez, renewable energy manager at MSU Green Energy.

In addition to improving the electric service, the projects provide concrete solutions to the national energy crisis, with less emissions, more clean energy, and greater territorial autonomy.

Future outlook: solar energy as a driver of transformation

Formosa integrates into the global sustainability agenda and opens opportunities in industry, services, and tourism.

The energy transition is not a distant destination, but a path that has already begun. Formosa is walking it with state vision, business confidence, and intergenerational commitment, demonstrating that the energy of the sun can illuminate homes and entire communities.
