What changed and who it applies to

What changed
It opens the second stage of the ENARSA privatization and authorizes the sale of all its shares in Termoeléctrica Manuel Belgrano S.A. (65.01% of the capital) and in Termoeléctrica José de San Martín S.A. (68.83%), through a national and international public tender. It also authorizes the sale of its stake in the Central Termoeléctrica Guillermo Brown, which may not be less than 70% of the capital: first the plant's trust, which expired on Sep 30, 2026, has to be wound up and the shares subscribed in ENARSA's name. No shares are reserved for workers and there are no other preferences for employees, and the tender documents must respect the preemptive right of the other shareholders of each plant. verif Sep 28, 2026 ↗

Who it applies to
Private generators and funds that want to buy control of combined-cycle plants; the current minority partners in each plant, who hold a preemptive right and start with an advantage; and the maintenance and spare-parts suppliers of those plants, whose client becomes a private owner that will tender its own contracts. thesis Sep 28, 2026

Our reading

thesis · R9 The State exits thermal generation where it was still the majority partner. For the combined-cycle maintenance supplier, what changes is who buys: a private owner with its own contract calendar. The window opens when the tender documents come out, and the current partners arrive with the preemptive right in their favor. thesis
