F.V. Caucharí I

F.V. Caucharí I solar overview.

Caucharí I is one of three distinct solar generating installations in Jujuy’s Caucharí complex, high in the Puna near Susques. The project forms part of JEMSE’s provincial renewable-energy programme and supplies Argentina’s interconnected electricity system through the Altiplano connection. Its high-altitude site combines strong sunshine with a cool, dry climate.In OperationArgentina
