Electricity produced by the force of wind can be a great source of income in a country because non-renewable fuels are saved and because energy thus generated does not aggravate the situation of global warming.

In Patagonia, INVAP has been a pioneering force in the matter of wind driven energy. Since the late 1970s INVAP has been undertaking tasks to study and assess the wind with the view to defining it as a resource. INVAP has additionally built low power wind driven generators to suit the conditions of the region.

INVAP has carried out studies and measurements as a part of the plan for wind driven power in Patagonia. The company conducted surveys to select locations for wind farms and, in its capacity of Technological Agent in the Province of Rio Negro, INVAP will be a contributing factor in their installation.
