The Argentine holding company MSU, through its renewable energy division MSU Green Energy, is in the final stages of construction of its Villa Ángela solar park in the province of Chaco, which according to the company itself will be operational at the end of this year.
This solar park, which will cover 222 hectares, will have 103,000 solar panels, allowing a generation capacity of 60 MW. Villa Ángela joins other very important projects that MSU has throughout the country, such as the Pampa del Infierno solar park, in the same province, which is already in operation and which has positioned MSU Green Energy as a leader in the sector. of solar energy in Argentina.
With this new project, MSU continues to consolidate its commitment to sustainability and the development of clean energy.
The capacity of Villa Ángela not only means a contribution to Argentina’s energy supply, but also progress in reducing polluting gas emissions. The park will be able to supply electricity to 45,400 homes and will help avoid the emission of 73,300 tons of carbon dioxide per year. This reduction in emissions responds to the decarbonization objectives that MSU Green Energy has integrated into its expansion plan, aligning with global sustainability goals and the Paris Agreement.
MSU Green Energy: Driving the shift toward renewable energy
MSU Green Energy, the renewable energy division of the MSU holding company, was founded in 2022 with the aim of diversifying Argentina’s energy matrix and providing clean and sustainable solutions for the country. Under the direction of Manuel Santos Uribelarrea Balcarce, MSU Green Energy has quickly become the largest generator of solar energy in Argentina, with an expansion plan that projects to reach 1 GW of installed capacity in the next three years.
The company is also developing another 13 solar parks in the NOA and NEA regions, optimal areas for solar generation due to their high levels of radiation and large areas of land.
MSU Green Energy’s mission is not limited to energy generation; It also seeks to provide economic and social value to the communities where it operates. In each of its projects, from the Pampa del Infierno park to the upcoming Villa Ángela, the company has promoted local development through the creation of jobs and the use of advanced technology that maximizes efficiency in solar energy production.
Villa Ángela: a new step in Chaco’s energy transition
The Villa Ángela solar park is MSU Green Energy’s second major project in the province of Chaco, after the successful Pampa del Infierno park. The latter, with an installed capacity of 130 MW, has established itself as the largest solar park in the country in the Renewable Energy Term Market (MATER) and has been fundamental in MSU’s strategy to contribute to the change of the energy matrix Argentina. With Pampa del Infierno, the company managed to supply more than 90,000 homes and avoid the emission of 147,600 tons of carbon dioxide per year.
What do the various commercial agreements that MSU Green Energy has signed mean?
Following this same model, the Villa Ángela park reinforces MSU’s commitment to sustainability, taking advantage of the geographical characteristics of Chaco to maximize solar energy production. Throughout its construction, which is progressing at a good pace, the project has generated local jobs and contributed to the economic development of the region. The installation of the first piles, which will support the 103,000 solar panels, is just the beginning of a project that promises to have a lasting impact on the province’s energy infrastructure.
MSU’s commitment to decarbonization and local development
The expansion of MSU Green Energy responds to a clear strategy to contribute to the decarbonization of the country through investments in clean and renewable technology. This commitment also reflects the vision of Manuel Santos Uribelarrea, who has promoted MSU to be a diversified group, with a presence in the agricultural and energy sector. Uribelarrea has highlighted on several occasions how MSU has evolved from its family roots in agriculture to become one of the most innovative and sustainable conglomerates in Argentina.
For MSU, the transition to renewable energy is both a business opportunity and a mission of social responsibility. As more solar parks, like Villa Ángela, come into operation, the positive impact on local communities spreads. In addition to contributing to the energy supply, the reduction in emissions contributes to a cleaner and safer environment for the inhabitants of these regions.
In Chaco, MSU projects have demonstrated that investing in clean energy not only benefits the environment, but also drives the growth of local economies by creating jobs and strengthening technical capabilities.
The future of MSU Green Energy in Argentina’s energy transition
The Villa Ángela park is a fundamental piece within MSU Green Energy’s expansion plan, which includes the construction of other parks in northern Argentina, such as La Corzuela, Sáenz Peña, Las Lomitas and Miraflores. With the goal of reaching 1 GW in installed capacity by 2027, the company seeks to make the most of Argentina’s geographical and climatic conditions to position itself as a leader in the solar energy sector.
In addition to their impact on energy supply, MSU Green Energy projects reflect a commitment to reducing carbon emissions, aligning with international sustainability goals. The company plans to finance this growth through its own resources and financial instruments from the local market, which ensures its capacity for development and expansion in the coming years.
As MSU Green Energy advances the construction of Villa Ángela and other projects, Argentina takes another step in the transition towards a cleaner and more sustainable energy matrix.
