The electric distributors Edenor and Edesur plan to invest around 2.15 billion dollars in the next five years with the goal of improving service quality and reducing the frequency and duration of power outages. This information was shared in documents presented to the National Electricity Regulatory Entity (ENRE) as part of the public hearing scheduled for February 27, where the Five-Year Tariff Review (RQT) will be discussed.
Edenor, which is controlled by Energía del Cono Sur (Edelcos), plans to invest approximately 1.275 billion dollars between 2025 and 2029 in its electrical network. Meanwhile, Edesur, owned by the Italian multinational Enel, plans to spend around 875 million dollars to improve its services.
During the public hearing, the companies presented their investment plans, which will influence the tariff adjustment that will come into effect on April 1. In these meetings, each participant has the opportunity to present their proposals or comments only once, after which authorities such as the Energy Secretariat and the ENRE analyze the different perspectives and make the corresponding decisions.
Both the increases in tariffs, the tariff scheme for the next five years, and the investments that the companies will make will ultimately be determined by the competent authorities.
