Argentina expands electrical infrastructure in Mendoza and Santa Fe

electrical infrastructure energy capacity transformer stations industrial development Argentina energy

In Mendoza, legislative inquiries are seeking clarity regarding the execution of a high-voltage line project connecting San Rafael and General Alvear. The focus is on whether the San Rafael Industrial Park Transformer Station will be constructed simultaneously with the 132 kV line or postponed to a later stage. The project, submitted to the National Electricity Regulatory Entity (ENRE), includes the Nihuil IV–San Rafael line, a 14-kilometer connection, and an 80-kilometer line to General Alvear, intended to serve as a strategic node for the southern Mendoza electrical ring.

In Santa Fe, the North Transformer Station in Rafaela is entering its final testing phase. Driven by the provincial government, this infrastructure aims to increase energy capacity and reliability to support industrial growth and economic expansion. The project has completed the installation of power transformers and high/medium voltage lines, including crossings at National Route 34. Local officials emphasize that improved energy availability is critical for attracting new investments and sustaining the city's productive corridor.
