INGENER was one of the sponsors and exhibitors of 2018 AIREC. Throughout four days and from its corporate booth, the largest Uruguayan electric infrastructure construction company was able to share with the industry´s players the experience gained on 2018 that positioned it as one of the key stakeholders in the development of renewable energies.

Ingener’s Country Manager, Diego Invernizzi, and Ingener´s Business Development Manager, Alejandro Hunko, could talk to several of the agents of the sector —as in the case of Genneia’s CEO, Walter Lanosa who visited their booth and praised INGENER’s work in the construction of the transformer substation for Genneia’s Villalonga wind farm, which will soon be energized.

The Uruguayan ambassador to Argentina, Mr. Hector Lescano Fraschini, also devoted some time to visit the booth and talk to the company’s authorities after participating in the opening panel of the congress, where he had accompanied Argentina’s Secretary of Energy, Javier Iguacel.

On top of the key role played by INGENER at the conference, its Business Development Manager, Alejandro Hunko, was an expert speaker at the panel discussion named “Analysis of technical tenders and observations of wind energy projects”.

As you may remember, INGENER has just signed a contract with CP Renewables, a subsidiary of Central Puerto. The purpose of this contract is building the electrical infrastructure of the “La Genoveva I “(87 MW) and” La Genoveva II “(42 MW) wind farms, located near the city of Bahía Blanca, province of Buenos Aires.

Particularly, INGENER is going to build the 132/33 kV substation that will link the two wind farms to the Argentine Interconnection System (SADI). This will be made by means of the existing 132kV overhead line, which connects the transformer substations of Coronel Pringles and Bahía Blanca.

In addition, INGENER is building the infrastructure of La Banderita wind farm under a contract with GRUPO FRALI. The company has also established itself in the thermal generation industry, where it has completed the electro-mechanical assembly and commissioning of the 250MW Matheu power plant, for APR Energy, and the electrical assembly of 240MW Matheu II and 120MW Lujan power stations, for Araucaria Energy.
