Overview
CENTRAL PARQUE INDUSTRIAL LA BANDA is an 11.2 MW diesel power plant in Argentina, operated by INDUSTRIAS JUAN F. SECCO. The facility provides electricity generation using oil as primary fuel.
CENTRAL PARQUE INDUSTRIAL LA BANDA is a diesel power plant located in Argentina, with an installed capacity of 11.2 megawatts. The facility is owned and operated by INDUSTRIAS JUAN F. SECCO and is currently in operational status. As a diesel-fired plant, it contributes to the country's power generation mix, particularly in regions where grid connectivity may be limited. The plant operates using oil as its primary fuel, which is typical for smaller-scale diesel power plants. In Argentina, such facilities often serve industrial parks or remote areas, providing reliable electricity supply. The regulatory framework for power generation in Argentina includes national standards for emissions and efficiency, though specific permits for this plant are not detailed. This facility plays a role in supporting local industrial activity by supplying electricity to the Parque Industrial La Banda. Its capacity of 11.2 MW places it in the small-scale category for power plants, suitable for localized demand. The plant's operation aligns with Argentina's energy strategy to diversify generation sources and ensure energy security.
Environmental context
The plant's use of diesel fuel results in CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions, which are typical for oil-fired power generation. Its location in Argentina, a country with growing energy demand, means that such plants contribute to local air quality considerations. The relatively small capacity (11.2 MW) limits its overall environmental footprint compared to larger fossil fuel plants, but proximity to industrial areas may require adherence to national emission standards.
