Fabienne Demol, EVP and global head of Business Development of Total Eren, commented: “We are very proud to deliver our first solar photovoltaic power plant in Argentina, a country in which our teams have managed to develop a portfolio of nearly 180MWp in solar and wind-based energy assets in less than two years. I would like to thank our excellent teams and partners for their work in developing this project”.

Martín Parodi, managing director of Total Eren Argentina, added: “We are proud to have developed the first operational solar farm for the RenovAr programme.”
