Argentina removes accidental solar panels from Chilean side of border

20 Jun 2024 CW Team

Argentina started removing solar panels that were mistakenly installed on the Chilean side of their shared border, following a complaint from Chilean President Gabriel Boric. The incident occurred in late April when the Argentine Navy inaugurated a maritime surveillance post in the Patagonia region. The solar panels, intended to power the military unit, were inadvertently set up on Chilean territory.

In response, the Argentine Navy issued a statement acknowledging the error and confirming the deployment of personnel and resources to remove the solar panels. "We have transferred personnel and means to begin the removal of a solar panel installed in the territory of the sister republic of Chile, north of the Island of Tierra del Fuego," the statement read.

Earlier in the day, President Boric had insisted on the removal of the panels, warning that Chile would take action if necessary. "Borders are not something that can be ambiguous. It is a basic principle of respect between countries and therefore they must remove those solar panels as soon as possible or we are going to do it," Boric stated during a visit to Paris. Chile and Argentina share a border of approximately 5,000 kilometers (more than 3,000 miles).
