An executive project for a high-head run-of-river hydroelectric plant in Iglesia, San Juan. With an estimated investment of USD 250M, this strategic project harnesses a 500-meter net head and a 25-35 km rock-bored headrace tunnel. It will supply 24-hour baseload clean energy to world-class mining operators such as Josemaría, Veladero, and Los Azules.
Central La Palca addresses a strategic need for energy for mining in San Juan: baseload renewable generation, proximity to major extractive projects, and the capacity to integrate with the Andean region's industrial demand. CONEQ supports the project's technical and commercial structuring.
