RECALDE, Marina Yesica; BOUILLE, Daniel Hugo  and  GIRARDIN, Leónidas Osvaldo. Limitations for Renewable Energy Development in Argentina. Prob. Des [online]. 2015, vol.46, n.183, pp.89-115. ISSN 0301-7036.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rpd.2015.10.005.

In recent decades, renewable energies have become increasingly important at the global level, with a significant impact on the sustainable development of various nations. Although multiple papers have examined the efficiency of policies and instruments to promote renewable energy sources, the majority have disregarded the fact that the context in which policies are implemented determines how well they perform. This paper analyzes renewable energy development in the electricity market in Argentina, paying special mind to the contextual conditions in which the policies were designed and finding that in recent history, it is precisely these conditions that constitute the main reason why renewable energies have such a low degree of penetration in the electrical power system in Argentina.

Keywords : Argentina; renewable energy; electricity sector; sustainable development; public policy.
