New Project: Jujuy On The Path To Green Energy

One of our new SEPS exchange activities in cooperation with Fundación EcoAndina aims to transmit twenty years of practical experience in the field of solar energy to an upcoming generation of renewable energy technicians in Jujuy, Argentina.

In cooperation with the Renewable Energy Institute, Fundación EcoAndina aims to contribute to course content for students focusing on renewable energy applications which are field-tested and adapted to the specific social, economic, climatic and technological conditions in this arid desertic region of Argentina.

This SEPS exchange activity aims to achieve the following:

a) The education and training of renewable energy students on various topics at the CEDIERA technology park, awarding certificates to students who complete the course.

b) The coordination and realisation of a handful of “Solar Energy Consultation Days” in Humahuaca, Abra Pampa and La Quiaca to improve access to information about renewable energy and other appropriate technologies among underprivileged highland populations and to empower highland municipalities to develop local renewable energy politics and projects.
