The vast Patagonian grasslands nurtured Argentina and her people. On the Santa Cruz River in the south-central Santa Cruz Province of the Patagonian Plain, sits the Santa Cruz River Hydropower Development Project. This project is the most important project in Argentina in the past 20 years and the largest hydropower clean energy project under construction in Argentina. After the project is completed, the average annual power generation will reach about 4.95 billion kWh, which will increase the total installed power capacity of Argentina by about 6.5%, which can meet the daily electricity demand of about 1.5 million households, and save 1.1 billion US dollars in foreign exchange for fuel imports each year. Important achievements in implementing the "30·60" national strategy.
