Argentina energy sector privatization

Overview

The Argentine government is advancing a privatization program involving state-held energy assets. This includes preparations to launch bidding documents for the sale of two major thermal power plants, Manuel Belgrano and José de San Martín.

Currently, the state holds controlling interests in these facilities through Energía Argentina (Enarsa), with stakes of 65% and 68.83% respectively. Both are large-scale combined-cycle plants with an installed capacity of approximately 800 megawatts each. This initiative is part of a broader process authorized in 2025 to divest state holdings and reorganize energy generation, transport, and infrastructure assets.
