The Municipality of Ushuaia has initiated several infrastructure and development projects focused on urban connectivity and energy modernization. Initial efforts centered on road improvements, including the paving of Los Ñires street and the repaving of Héroes de Malvinas Avenue. Paving works on Los Ñires street have officially begun, with an expected completion date in April. Additionally, the expansion of the Paseo Costero—funded by the Fondo de Ampliación de la Matriz Productiva Fueguina (FAMPF)—is underway to improve drainage, signage, and road width. Subsequent developments have expanded to energy infrastructure, with officials inspecting the local power plant to oversee turbine overhauls and maintenance. Energy Minister Gabriela Castillo indicated that while the goal is to avoid rotating power outages, the situation is being monitored. Furthermore, municipal leaders are seeking public-private collaboration for economic growth and have proposed paving the access road to the Martial Glacier, pending authorization from FAMP. Recent inspections by energy officials and the new board of FAMP have reviewed the progress of these modernization efforts. Minister Castillo reported that FAMP-funded work includes turbine overhauls, with specific plans to address Solar turbines by January and the Rolls-Royce unit during a period of low consumption. While officials aim to avoid rotating power outages during these interventions, the energy scenario remains under monitoring to determine if a service schedule will be necessary. In parallel, Vice-Mayor Gabriela Muñiz Siccardi has emphasized the necessity of public-private collaboration to stimulate local investment in fishing, tourism, and professional training. The municipal project to pave the access road to the Martial Glacier remains pending a formal agreement and authorization from FAMP.
