CLEMENTI, Luciana. Of mills and quixotes: Eolic energy and cooperativism in the south of Buenos Aires. Estudios Socioterritoriales [online]. 2014, vol.15. ISSN 1853-4392.

The constant increase of energy demands in Argentina together with the strong national interest to obtain a higher energy security, deepens the need of new investments in the energy sector. However, the dependence of the country on hidrocarbons threatens the supply in the long-term. In this context appear in the last decade, renewable energy production projects, triggered by a global context which encourages the development of energy sources that favor a cleaner and more sustainable model. In this scenario, it is of interest in this paper to analyze the role of cooperatives of electricity well-established in the Province of Buenos Aires, mainly in the performance of local projects that consider eolic energy production in the South of Buenos Aires, in order to reflect upon the new opportunities as well as the barriers they must deal.

Keywords : Electricity Cooperatives; Generation Project; Eolic Energy.
