Argentina reaches agreement with Norte Grande governors on electricity subsidies

The Argentine national government has reached a historic agreement with the governors of the Norte Grande region to restructure electricity subsidies. The deal, negotiated by Economy Minister Luis Caputo and Chief of Staff Diego Santilli, aims to address the increased energy demand caused by high temperatures in northern provinces.

Under the proposed scheme, which would apply during the peak summer months from November to April, the subsidized consumption limits will be significantly increased. For warm zones, the limit will rise from 150 to 300 kWh monthly. For very warm zones, the limit will increase from 300 to 550 kWh monthly.

The agreement was reached following meetings with governors from Catamarca, Salta, Chaco, Corrientes, and Jujuy. This political consensus is viewed as a strategic move by the administration to secure regional support for a separate legislative initiative: the reduction of natural gas subsidies currently applied to the “cold zone” (zona fría) in various regions, including parts of Buenos Aires province.
