Central Puerto S.A. is a leading independent power producer (IPP) in Argentina, operating a diversified portfolio of energy assets with over 7,100 MW of installed capacity. The company's core business is electric power generation, which is divided into conventional sources (combined cycle, gas, and steam turbines) and renewable sources (wind and solar farms). Central Puerto generates the vast majority of its revenue from conventional power generation, selling electricity primarily to CAMMESA, the administrator of the Argentine wholesale electricity market, as well as to large industrial users through private power purchase agreements (PPAs). Beyond power generation, the company operates a natural gas transport and distribution segment serving the Cuyo and Centro regions. In recent years, Central Puerto has pursued a strategic diversification plan to mitigate domestic regulatory and currency risks. This includes acquiring over 160,000 hectares of timberland to become Argentina's largest forestry producer and entering the mining sector with investments in gold, silver, and lithium projects. The company's competitive position is bolstered by its massive scale, diversified energy matrix, and strategic expansion into export-oriented natural resources.
