Expected compliance

Detail

The Ensenada Barragán power plant completed its expansion works in 2023 and is already being operated by Pampa Energía S.A. with the additional capacity. At Brigadier López, the project being developed by Central Puerto S.A. remains under construction and is expected to be completed during the current year, with dispatch to the Argentine Interconnection System beginning once the works are completed. If the planned schedule is maintained, the target would be achieved within the established timeframe.
