Argentine Q3 priority dispatch capacity auction draws 31 projects

Argentine wholesale power market administrator Cammesa received 31 projects in a transmission priority dispatch capacity auction corresponding to 3Q24.

Priority dispatch capacity is sought by renewables projects seeking to participate in the Mater term market, where the likes of renewables generators sell output to offtakers such as manufacturers. 

Companies have applied for a total of 1.34GW of priority dispatch capacity but it is unlikely the full amount will be awarded given transmission congestion.

Applications are for standard priority dispatch capacity, known as Mater Pleno, and Reference A, introduced via a 2023 rule change. 

Under Reference A, Cammesa can award priority dispatch on congested transmission corridors to Mater projects, on the understanding that some associated output may be curtailed (8% probability of curtailment). 

On top of this, 345MW of capacity was sought under another 2023 rule change, where developers can apply for capacity associated with future new demand for clean power that, in turn, would impact assignable capacity on the grid. 

Associated installed capacity of the projects submitted is around 2.7GW. Some applications include associated grid work.

Capacity assignment is scheduled for November 25.
