Argentina’s renewables expansion to remain moderate through 2035 despite strong resource potential, says GlobalData

GlobalData expects the expansion of renewable energies in Argentina to progress only moderately by 2035, despite excellent wind and solar resources. Solar PV is expected to grow from around 2.5 GW (2025) to about 7.9 GW (2035) and wind from around 4.5 GW to around 7.6 GW; bottlenecks in grid capacity, financing and politics are slowing the pace. Gas remains central to the electricity mix thanks to Vaca Muerta, while coal-fired power is declining significantly.
