Business
Central Puerto S.A. is a leading independent power producer in Argentina, focused on the generation, commercialization, and sale of electric power through a diversified portfolio of conventional thermal, hydroelectric, wind, solar, and cogeneration facilities; it also engages in natural gas transportation and distribution via equity stakes, forestry operations, and mining exploration. The company operates multiple key assets including the Nuevo Puerto and Puerto Nuevo steam turbine plants (totaling 949 MW), the Nuevo Puerto Combined Cycle plant (798 MW), Central Costanera complex (1,789 MW with combined cycle and gas turbine units), Luján de Cuyo thermal and cogeneration plant (575 MW including Siemens and Skoda turbines plus a 1 MW Ossberger hydroelectric unit and 93 MW cogeneration), Brigadier López thermal plant (initial 281 MW with ongoing combined cycle upgrade adding 140 MW for 432 MW total), San Lorenzo cogeneration plant (365 MW Siemens gas and steam turbines exporting up to 370 tons per hour of steam to industrial clients), Piedra del Águila hydroelectric plant (1,440 MW with four Francis turbines), wind farms such as Achiras (48 MW), La Castellana I and II (115 MW total), La Genoveva I and II (130 MW total), Manque (57 MW), and Los Olivos (23 MW), solar projects including Guañizuil II A (117 MWdc generating 300 GWh annually) and under-construction San Carlos (15 MW), alongside forestry activities spanning over 160,000 hectares of pine and eucalyptus plantations through Forestal Argentina (formerly MASISA and EVASA assets) and mining interests in AbraSilver's Diablillos silver-gold project (9.9% stake), Tres Cruces lithium project (27.5% stake), and a 140 km renewable energy transmission line with IFC for northwest mining operations. Founded in 1992 through the acquisition of assets from the former state-owned Servicios Eléctricos del Gran Buenos Aires (SEGBA) and headquartered in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Central Puerto serves the Wholesale Electricity Market (MEM), industrial clients, and private contracts nationwide across provinces including Buenos Aires, Santa Fe, Mendoza, Córdoba, Bahia Blanca, Neuquén, San Juan, and Salta, while holding participations in natural gas firms like ECOGAS, TGM, DGCE, and DGCU, and FONINVEMEM combined-cycle plants such as Central Vuelta de Obligado, Termoeléctrica José de San Martín, and Manuel Belgrano. Recent developments include the completion of a spin-off-merger with ECOGAS Inversiones S.A. effective October 1, 2025, to streamline natural gas operations and enhance shareholder value through equity transfers and new share issuances; the acquisition of the 80 MW Proyecto Solar Cafayate (expected 220 GWh annual generation) from Canadian Solar in August 2025, closing by early September to bolster renewable diversification; ongoing combined cycle closure at Brigadier López adding capacity; and continued expansion in mining and forestry to support sustainable growth. The company maintains a 20.13% market share in private sector generation with over 6,500 MW total installed capacity equivalent to powering more than 6 million households, listed on the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange (BCBA: CEPU) and New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: CEPU).
