The National Electricity Regulator (ENRE) has approved the new tariff tables for the distributors Edenor and Edesur, which will come into effect this month. The update of tariffs will be applied to the bills of users at each level of energy segmentation. The measure was confirmed through Resolutions 119 and 120/2025 published in the Official Gazette.

Regarding the details, starting February 1, the final user tariff will increase by 1.6%, similar to the adjustment made the previous month. It was established that the Value Added of Distribution (VAD) will increase by 4% in the electricity distribution segment, just as in January.

In this context, it was determined that in February, the bill for users in Level 1 of high income will increase on average by 2% compared to the previous month. On the other hand, users in Levels 2 and 3 will see increases of 12.3% and 8.4%, respectively, in their bills.

In the case of Edenor, it was reported that tariffs for general users will increase by an average of 0.8% compared to January. Tariffs for different demand levels will also experience increases ranging from 2.4% to 5.1%. On the other hand, Edesur will experience an average increase of 2.7% in the tariffs for general users and variable increases between 1.8% and 3.8% in different tariffs according to demand.

The average tariffs for Edesur and Edenor are around $112.924/kWh and $118.429/kWh respectively, reflecting a 4% increase. Bills will detail the costs of the Wholesale Electricity Market and state subsidies, with caps for subsidized consumptions of 350 Kwh and 250 Kwh monthly for low and middle-income users respectively.

In an effort to simplify discounts, the Government has decided to unify the bonuses at 65% and 50% for the Entry Point to the Transportation System and the Seasonal Price of Electricity for low and middle-income users, respectively.
