Abstract

The today situation of the renewable distributed generation in Argentina is presented, explaining the causes of its low spread. Also the influence of the low electric energy tariffs and its non-uniformity along the country is explained. It is considered that one of the main reasons for the low application is due to the utilities opposition to this type of source, analyzing the invoked causes and the mistakes of this argument. Same international experience is also presented. Concluding in that several years will be necessary to revert this tendency and that it is very important that people takes conscience of the environment damage caused by the massive use of the fossil fuels.
