The 100 MW Pomona I Wind Farm has received commercial authorization from CAMMESA to enter into operation. The project was awarded to Genneia in round 1.5 of the Renew program.

Located northeast of the province of Río Negro, it has 26 Nordex wind turbines, arranged on a 1,365-hectare site. It required an investment of more than US$135 million. 

In the same area, in the next few weeks, the sister project Pomona II Wind Farm will start generating energy. The Pomona park (I and II) will generate 401,000 MWh per year, equivalent to the consumption of 135,000 homes, and prevent the emission of 275,000 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere.
