The Ministry of Economy, led by Luis Caputo, authorized the sale of the shares of the hydroelectric plants Alicurá, El Chocón, Cerros Colorados, and Piedra del Águila. The measure, published in Resolution 1200/2025 of the Official Gazette, allows the transfer of the share package through a public tender.
This process is open to national and international bidders, with no defined base price.
Legal Framework and Procedure
The sale is framed within decrees 286/2025 and 590/2025, which enable the privatization of these state-controlled plants. The Secretariat of Energy, together with ENARSA, will coordinate the transfer.
Additionally, the Public Companies Transformation Agency will supervise the process and will hire a public bank to appraise the assets.
Public Tender on Digital Platform
The tender will be managed through CONTRAT.AR, where interested parties will access the necessary documentation. The authorities clarified that bidders must conduct their own research, since the State won't accept claims regarding the published information.
