The provincial government of Santa Cruz, Argentina, has initiated electrical infrastructure projects in Las Heras to address long-standing service deficiencies. Through Servicios Públicos Sociedad del Estado (SPSE), the administration has deployed machinery, transformers, lighting, and cables to improve the area.

Governor Claudio Vidal noted that the intervention aims to resolve a 20-year demand from residents in the El Calafate and Las Américas neighborhoods, where inadequate electrical wiring has impacted thousands of families. The project includes the acquisition of 1,500 lamps and approximately 10 to 12 transformers.
