“Today we are taking another step in the enormous challenge of generating productive and economic development,” said Governor Sergio Ziliotto while announcing the tender for the second phase of the solar PV plant and the submission of a bill to create an economic activities park.
The governor of La Pampa, Sergio Ziliotto, announced Public Tender No. 1/26 for the second phase of the General Pico Solar Photovoltaic Park—an initiative that will expand renewable electricity generation capacity in the north of the province and strengthen the government’s energy strategy based on planning, investment and public-private collaboration.
The call continues a project already underway. Phase I, currently under construction, includes 15 megawatts (MW) of capacity, while the new phase will add a further 15 MW, as part of an expansion plan aiming to reach 50 MW of installed capacity.
The initiative will be structured through a temporary joint venture between Pampetrol and a private contractor. Under this scheme, the provincial company will hold a 20% stake, while the private partner will own the remaining 80%.
Pampetrol will contribute strategic assets such as the land, the power supply contract, grid connection feasibility, environmental studies and prior project development.
In addition, the scheme includes a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with the Provincial Energy Administration, featuring a fixed price during the first seven years and a regulated adjustment mechanism for the remaining period, providing revenue predictability and a long-term investment horizon.
Meanwhile, the electricity generated will be used to meet the growing demand of the productive sector in northern La Pampa, supporting industrial expansion and ensuring energy availability for new projects.
The project will be developed within the General Pico Energy Supply and Productive Development Hub and will include design, supply and construction, installation and commissioning, grid connection, operation and maintenance (O&M), and the commercialisation of the generated energy.
“Managing the price of energy means having control over one of the key variables in adding value to our primary production,” Ziliotto stated, emphasising that the goal is to ensure “energy in both quality and quantity, at the best possible price to meet the needs of the productive sector.”
The expansion of the solar park is part of a broader productive development strategy. The governor also announced the submission of a bill to create an economic activities park in General Pico, coordinated between the provincial government, the municipality and the private sector.
“We are creating the conditions to ensure infrastructure, access to inputs and clear rules of the game. We are also talking about legal certainty and fiscal stability.” This project carries a zero tax burden and is supported by a strong framework of coordination with the provincial government.
Ziliotto explained that the new scheme предусматриes joint management between the provincial government and the municipality, with private sector participation: “We will create all the necessary conditions to promote private investment, just as we are making public investments. The only way to develop La Pampa province is through production and employment,” he stressed.
Interested companies may access the tender documents and submit their bids in accordance with Public Tender No. 1/26. The opening of bids will take place on 8 September 2026.

“We will be just one additional tender away from covering the nearly 16,500 MW of renewable energy capacity required for this administration,” said Deputy Energy Minister Jorge Islas, as the country advances towards a 38% clean energy target by 2030 and a more state-led planning model for the power sector.
