Pampa Energía announced yesterday that from 2020 it will have a new wind farm in Coronel Rosales, a few kilometers from Bahía Blanca. It will be the fourth clean energy generating park of the company, according to businessman Marcelo Mindlin during a visit made yesterday by President Mauricio Macri and Governor María Eugenia Vidal by the Pampa III Wind Farm, recently inaugurated.
