The project will be located 30 km north-west of the City of Bahia Blanca, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Client
Central Puerto.
Project Description
The project will be completed in two phases – La Genoveva I and La Genoveva II, which will have a combined generation capacity of 130 MW.
Each phase will comprise 21wind turbine generators, each with a capacity of 4.2 MW.
The turbines will be supported by 130 m tubular towers and run by three blades with a total diameter of 132 m. All electrical cables connecting the towers to the substation will be buried.
The energy generated by all the wind turbo generators will be increased from 33 kV to the transmission voltage of 132 kV at the substation, which will be located 50 m away from an existing transmission line connected to the national grid. Both projects are expected to export 532.198 MWh/y to the national grid and will displace about 168 500 t/y of carbon dioxide equivalent.
