In recent years, with global warming, new energy represented by wind power and solar photovoltaic power generation, which "rely on the sky" has developed rapidly. On the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean, on the endless Pampas grassland, 29 intelligent wind turbines with a height of 110 meters stand tall and white wind turbines slowly rotate.

The Miramar Wind Farm in Argentina, invested and constructed by a Chinese company, has successfully connected to the grid and entered commercial operation. The total installed capacity of wind turbines is 98.6 MW. It is expected to provide 430 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity to the local area every year to meet the electricity consumption of 100,000 households. This is another achievement of China and Latin American countries in jointly building a green belt and road.

Miramar Wind Farm is located in the General Alvarado Region of Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina. It is located in the coastal plain area, with low altitude, high average wind speed and abundant wind resources. The wind farm is invested by Xinjiang Goldwind Technology Co., Ltd. and undertaken by China Power Construction. “The realization of the grid-connected power transmission of wind farms is of great significance to the local area.” Sebastian Ianantoni, head of General Alvarado Region, said that the project not only provided job opportunities for local people, but also Everyone enjoys clean energy at a lower price. During the construction of the project, Chinese enterprises organized vocational training to train local electric power talents.

Gioni, Deputy Secretary-General of the Province of Buenos Aires, believes that the Miramar wind power project will help promote the realization of green and sustainable economic development. Positive meaning. Radisa, a member of a local environmental protection organization, said that experts from the two countries have fully evaluated the project, and the green ecological concept of the project has won wide support from all walks of life in the region. Local government official Meyaka said: "Green wind farms are our pride."

According to Ling Peitian, Managing Director of Goldwind Argentina, since 2020, Chinese companies and local subcontractors have been continuously adjusting prevention and control measures, actively purchasing and stocking epidemic prevention materials to ensure the stable operation of the project. The company also communicated closely with local governments and communities, donating epidemic prevention materials to Miramar City Government, and stationery to local schools, which was praised by the public.

Miramar Wind Farm is one of the main wind farms in the Helios Wind Power Project Group, China's largest wind power project group in Argentina. In February 2020, Goldwind's first wind power project in Afghanistan, the second phase of the Rome Blanca wind farm project, has entered commercial operation. At present, the Helios wind power project group is still under construction. It is expected that when all of them are completed and put into use, Argentina can reduce the burning of standard coal by 650,000 tons and reduce carbon emissions by 1.8 million tons each year. Luis Tosque, a wind power project engineer in Rome Blanca, said: “Wind power projects have brought investment and employment opportunities to Argentina. We welcome the joint construction of the Belt and Road project.”

With the various environmental hazards caused by global warming, the realization of clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy development is imminent. The Argentine government has set a goal of reaching 20% of renewable energy power generation by 2025. The president of the Argentine Wind Association, Guzman, stated that Argentina has abundant wind resources. Many wind farm projects undertaken by Chinese companies have entered commercial operation, which has further increased the proportion of renewable energy in Argentina’s energy structure and played a role in promoting energy transition and green development.
