The international event dedicated to wind energy in Argentina takes place from 3 to 5 July concurrently with the fair for the photovoltaic, thermal and concentrated solar energy, with which it will create strong synergies.
Buenos Aires, Tuesday, July 3, 2012 - At its opening edition, Eolica Argentina 2012 will address the challenges faced by industry players thanks to the participation of leading experts and professionals from the renewable energy sector.
