A Roadmap for the Power Supply Sector in Argentina

The report evaluates the energy transition in Argentina's power sector, highlighting the need to align long-term Paris Agreement temperature goals with NDC processes to avoid carbon lock-in. It identifies opportunities for leadership in renewables-based hydrogen and synthetic fuels, while noting that grid limitations are the primary short-term barrier to increasing renewable energy participation.

• Current modelling and sector dialogues regarding a 2050 vision for Argentina's power sector have not sufficiently addressed the long-term temperature goals of the Paris Agreement, creating risks of stranded assets and carbon lock-in.
• The transition to a renewable energy sector offers Argentina the potential for regional and global leadership in synthetic fuels and renewables-based hydrogen, providing higher quality jobs than the fossil fuel sector.
• While the Renewable Energy Law and RenovAR auction scheme have increased renewable energy participation, grid limitations currently represent the most significant short-term obstacle to further integration.
• A socially just transition is required for communities dependent on fossil-based industries, necessitating policy interventions and compensation to mitigate negative socio-economic impacts.
