In Tucumán, local officials and residents initiated demands for a review of the electricity distribution company EDET’s concession contract. Proponents cited high electricity bills, frequent power outages, and voltage drops, requesting that the provincial government and the regulatory body Ersept evaluate the company’s investments and service quality.

Following these demands, the Tucumán Legislature approved a Decree of Necessity and Urgency to appoint engineer Eduardo Cobos as the Interventor of Ersept. Additionally, the legislature sanctioned an agreement between the Provincial Executive Power and EDET SA, establishing a deadline of September 30, 2026, to launch a national and international public tender for the sale of the company’s majority share package.
