FERNANDEZ, Cecilia. La energía eólica en la provincia de Buenos Aires: el rol de las políticas públicas para su promoción. Estud. Econ. [online]. 2011, vol.28, n.57, pp. 1-31. ISSN 2525-1295.

Despite its high wind potential, Argentina has failed in recent years coupled with the worldwide trend characterized by the increase in installed wind capacity. This problem may be due to several factors, one of the main hypotheses to be analyzed in this work is the lack of effective policy instruments to promote investment in wind technology in the study region. The primary objective is to study the impact of different incentive mechanisms to promote wind energy and its potential to promote development of the same nationwide, with particular emphasis on the analysis of the potential of wind energy in the province of Buenos Aires.
