The Río Turbio Thermal Power Plant is off and will remain that way for a long time. A company was hired to do the maintenance and, in the last few months, paint the Plant.
When they turned it on, it lost 30 million pesos per day. The work was put out to tender 17 years ago and was never finished. Today it would cost more than 200 million dollars to complete. The plant will have cost between two and three times more than what was originally budgeted.
