This paper seeks to recover the tensions between the energy transition perspective in Argentina at the end of the eighties and beginning of the nineties, as a consequence of the relocation of a mapuche community in northern Patagonia. The relocation occurred due to the flooding of Río Limay, for the construction of a hydroelectric dam. The article relates the emotions resulting from the inhabitants 20 and 30 years after the event.

Keywords : Energy poverty; Energy projects; Indigenous community; Argentine Patagonia.
