"As response to the emergency status of the electricity sector declared in 2015, the government organised two tenders for thermal generation (combined cycle turbines and cogeneration plants), although no distinct policy programme like the RenovAr for renewables has been established. In the first thermal tender, under Resolution SEE 021/2016 (Secretaría de Energía Eléctrica Argentina, 2016), the Ministry of Energy3 contracted 29 thermal electricity projects adding up a total capacity of 3.1 GW. In the second thermal tender, under Resolution SEE 287/2017 (Secretaría de Energía Eléctrica Argentina, 2017), the ministry selected nine additional thermal generation projects that sum a total capacity of 1.3 GW from combined cycle and cogeneration plants (Gubinelli, 2017)."
