| Sumario: | The article describes the territorial configuration of high-power wind generation in Argentina, resulting from the development process of the period 2011-2023. A zoning is proposed from which the basic energy indicators and two main conditions for the installation of wind farms are comparatively analyzed: the geographical distribution of the wind resource and the electrical transportation networks. The methodology combines descriptive statistics techniques and cartographic techniques. The results show that, with some differences between areas that allow us to recognize a hierarchical order and particularities of insertion in the electrical system, the territorial configuration of wind generation reflects a notable general performance within the framework of a centripetal growth model, but that, in the last two years, it faces geoeconomic barriers that limit its expansion, both in the group of wind concentration zones established and in the valorization of areas of the country with the presence of higher quality winds (centrifugal growth). |
