Cerros Colorados Complex, Hydroelectric complex in Neuquén, Argentina.
The Cerros Colorados Complex contains four dams that harness water from the Neuquén River to generate power through two Siemens generators with Francis turbines.
The construction of this energy infrastructure started in 1969, with the first operational machine beginning its service in 1978 and full inauguration in 1980.
This power generation facility represents Argentina's determination to develop sustainable energy solutions while maintaining environmental considerations for future generations.
The complex maintains two natural depressions, Los Barreales and Mari Menuco, which function as water reservoirs with a height difference of 69 meters.
The Planicie Banderita power plant within the complex produces 1,512 gigawatt-hours annually through its vertical-axis turbines connected to the National Grid.
