Recently, PowerChina, as part of a consortium, signed an EPC contract with Argentina’s Ministry of Energy for the second phase of Argentina’s **natural gas pipeline for industrial use. The total value of this contract exceeds 13.6 billion yuan, and it will change Argentina’s history of relying on imported natural gas. Argentina has abundant natural gas reserves, but they are unevenly distributed. As Argentina’s **Energy Strategy Project No. 1, the Argentine natural gas pipeline project for domestic use will enable the country to meet its own natural gas needs and export it to neighboring countries, thereby promoting its economic and social development. This project is located in the provinces of Neuquén, Buenos Aires, Santa Fe, Córdoba, and La Pampa in Argentina. It consists of main pipelines and multiple compression stations, connecting the Baca Muerta Basin in southern Argentina, which is rich in oil and gas resources, with the major natural gas consumption areas in the central and northern parts of the country. The value of the project contract is 1.905 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to approximately 13.621 billion yuan. EPC general contracting is carried out by a consortium of China Power Construction and Shanghai Power Construction. Since entering the Argentine market, China Power Construction has been actively involved in the development of Argentina’s energy and infrastructure sectors. To date, 11 energy and infrastructure projects have been completed, including the 315 MW Huhuey Gocharey photovoltaic project, the 355 MW Helios wind farm project, and the 100 MW Cafayate photovoltaic power generation project. Meanwhile, 4 more projects are under construction, such as the Tampora integrated water resources project, the 65 MW Córdoba photovoltaic project, and the Mariana photovoltaic and energy storage project. ▲Other projects undertaken by China Power Construction in Argentina: The company also actively participates in local community service activities and fulfills its corporate social responsibilities, contributing to the economic and social development of the region and receiving high praise from all sectors in Argentina.
