CASTELAO CARUANA, María Eugenia. Renewable Energy in Argentina as an Energy and Industrial Policy Strategy. Prob. Des [online]. 2019, vol.50, n.197, pp.131-156.  Epub Oct 18, 2019. ISSN 0301-7036.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iiec.20078951e.2019.197.64625.

With the enactment of a new regime regarding the promotion of electrical energy from renewable sources in 2015, Argentina took up the transition towards a more sustainable and diversified energy matrix. Since then, national energy policy has driven the creation of a competitive domestic market for Energy from Renewable Sources (ERS). Meanwhile, industrial policy has focused on promoting the transfer of technology and local industry. This paper analyzes the orientation of these policies, the coherence of their objectives, and the immediate results. Energy policy and industrial policies designed for ERS develop at different speeds and with little coordination, making it necessary for national industry to participate in its value chains.

Keywords : renewable energy; electrical energy; energy policy; renewable sources; industrial policy; technology.
