The aim is for the region of Jujuy to have 8% of its power coming from renewables in 2017 and for this to climb to 70% over eight or nine years.
The renewables promotion scheme, named 'plan Belgrano', will benefit 10 provinces of northern Argentina.
Macri said: “Jujuy and Northern Argentina can be a place for the future generation of solar energy and is an example of what we can do for Argentina and the world.”
