On the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean, in the endless pampas grassland, 29 intelligent wind turbines with a height of 110 meters stand tall and white fans rotate slowly. Miramar wind farm in Argentina, which is invested and constructed by Chinese enterprises, has been successfully connected to the grid and officially put into commercial operation. China's one belt, one road power plant, has a total installed capacity of 98.6 MW. It is expected to provide 430 million kilowatt hours of clean electricity to local residents and 100 thousand households to use electricity annually.

Miramar wind farm is located in general Alvarado region of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Here is located in the coastal plain area, low altitude, high average wind speed, wind resources are very rich. The wind farm is invested by Xinjiang Goldwind Technology Co., Ltd. (Goldwind Technology) and contracted by China Power Construction Corporation. "It is of great significance for the local government to realize the grid connected power transmission of wind farms." Sebastian iyanantoni, President of general Alvarado, said that the project not only provides local people with jobs, but also allows them to enjoy cleaner energy at a lower price. During the construction of the project, Chinese enterprises organized vocational training to train local electric power talents.

Gianni, Deputy Secretary General of Buenos Aires Province, believes that Miramar wind power project will help promote green and sustainable economic development, and has positive significance for the change of energy structure in Buenos Aires Province and even Argentina. Radissa, a member of a local environmental protection organization, said that experts from both countries have fully evaluated the project and the green ecological concept of the project has won wide support from all walks of life in the local area. "Green wind farms are our pride," said local government official meyaka

Ling Peitian, managing director of Jinfeng technology Argentina, said that since the beginning of this year, Chinese enterprises and local subcontractors have been constantly adjusting their prevention and control measures, actively purchasing and storing epidemic prevention materials to ensure the stable operation of the project. The company also communicated closely with the local government and community, donating epidemic prevention materials to Miramar municipal government and stationery to local schools, which were praised by the public.

Miramar wind farm is one of the main wind farms of Helios wind power project group, the largest wind power project group of China in Argentina. In February this year, Goldwind technology's first wind power project in Argentina, the phase II wind farm project in Rome Blanca, has entered commercial operation. At present, Helios wind power project group is still under construction. It is estimated that when it is completed and put into use, it will reduce the burning of standard coal by 650000 tons and carbon emissions by 1.8 million tons in Argentina every year. "Wind power projects bring investment and employment opportunities to Argentina," said Luis tosque, a wind power project engineer in Branca, Rome. We welcome the "one belt, one road" project.

The Argentine government has set a target of 20% renewable power generation by 2025. Gustav gusman, President of the Argentine Wind Power Association, said that Argentina has abundant wind resources. A number of wind farm projects undertaken by Chinese enterprises have entered into commercial operation, which further improves the proportion of renewable energy in Argentina's energy structure and plays an important role in promoting energy transformation and green development.
