“The Provincial Electric Power Company received the main water conduction piece (called pant) of the penstock for the enhancement of the La Calera Power Plant, which dates back to 1911.

This work consists of replacing two of its old machines as hydromechanical and control equipment, keeping the plant’s old powerhouse intact.

The reform of the plant is part of round three of the RenovAr program, which seeks to transform the Argentine energy matrix by supplying electrical energy from renewable sources to care for the environment.

The parts were designed and manufactured in our country and are used to transport water to the new turbines.”
