    Macri praises Chinese investment in hydropower projects in Patagonia

    “The truth is that this project is going to mark a turning point for Patagonia, for Argentina ... it is going to generate energy for 1.5 million homes” Macri said

    Argentina's president Mauricio Macri on Monday said the joint Argentina-China hydropower megaproject is “highly important” and “emblematic” in terms of renewable energy and economic development. Macri made the remarks during his first official visit to the construction site of the project, where two hydroelectric dams, Condor Cliff and La Barrancosa, are being erected along the Santa Cruz River in Patagonia to boost national energy output.
