Energy policy is an essential part of the economy and the society. In some countries, there is a lack of a regulatory framework, which must be clear and practicable to allow new technologies to compete with the conventional way of generation. This is the problem in Argentine, the lack of a regulatory framework that can regulate the insertion of wind energy into the Argentine power system (SADI). In this paper, a review of typical incentives for the installation of wind farms in the world, and a review of some laws and policies in Argentine are presented. Also financial and economic issues that are related to the installation of wind farms are analyzed, and some recommendations related to the topics are presented in this paper.
