Resumen

CLEMENTI, Luciana; CARRIZO, Silvina  y  BUSTOS CARA, Roberto. La región SUBA, Sur de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, epicentro eólico en Argentina. Rev. Univ. geogr. [online]. 2019, vol.28, n.1, pp. 43-64. ISSN 1852-4265.

In Argentina, 70 % of the territory has feasible wind potential for electricity generation, which represents a non-exhaustive source of clean energy. However, the electrical system has problems due to the rising energy demand, the dependence on hydrocarbons and limits to generation capacity. The use of wind power resource could help to meet new demands and diversify the matrix. The interest in wind power potential is renewed in the twenty-first century. A wide range of projects is beginning to shape the country’s new wind map, where the south of the province of Buenos Aires emerges as a strategic area. The aim of this paper is to identify and analyze the factors that make the south of Buenos Aires the center for new undertakings. This research presents an integral, multidimensional and trans-scalar approach to energy from a territorial perspective through a mixed methodology that includes quantitative-qualitative strategies. The analysis helped to identify abundant wind resources in the region, available infrastructure, and technical-institutional background. The recognition of these elements creates a synergy which opens possibilities to turn wind potential into a new resource for territorial and regional valorization.
