In Argentine Patagonia, where the Santa Cruz River runs through one of the country's most imposing regions, energy is back on track. After working hard for months, we have restarted the works on the 'Jorge Cepernic' dam. With the dam now operational, what will be the benefit for the country? On this matter, they explain: 'We are starting a new phase that will add hydroelectric generation to the Argentine matrix with an installed capacity of 360 megawatts' and 'the dam will contribute 1860 GWh per year to the Argentine interconnected system'. Finally, they stated: 'We continue to work and care for the country's resources, promoting energy generation that sustains Argentine functioning and development'. As communicated in the video from the Secretariat of Energy, the works are being restarted in the dams of Santa Cruz province. 'After years of contractual breaches that led to the halt of work, we agreed to reactivate the project, starting with the Cepernic dam, which will contribute 1860 GWh/year,' narrates the voice-over about the project that promises: 'More energy for the country's growth'. In this sense, through the announcement, they stated: 'After years of neglecting the works, we made the decision and assumed the commitment to order the project and resolve historical problems that generated million-dollar sales'.
