Buenos Aires, September 25, 2025 – Central Puerto, the leading private power generator in Argentina, received this week a visit from a delegation of the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group. The visit took place within the framework of the signing of a mandate letter for up to US$300 million, potential financing subject to IFC’s internal reviews and approvals, including consideration by its Board of Directors.

The delegation, made up of IFC’s technical, environmental, social, and financial teams, visited Central Puerto’s offices and facilities in Buenos Aires, Neuquén, and Bahía Blanca with the goal of gaining a detailed understanding of the different projects and assessing first-hand the company’s practices in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters.

If approved, the financing will enable Central Puerto to move forward with a strategic investment plan that includes the installation of the first battery storage system awarded in the AlmaGBA tender, as well as new renewable energy initiatives at the national level.

“This mandate letter reflects IFC’s commitment to strategic investments in Argentina’s power sector and to strengthening the stability and reliability of the energy system,” said Manuela Adl, IFC Senior Country Manager for Argentina. “By supporting the country’s first grid-scale battery energy storage systems and advancing new renewable energy projects, we aim to foster market innovation while ensuring reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy for all.”

For his part, Fernando Bonnet, CEO of Central Puerto, stated: “For us, it is essential that these investments are carried out under the highest environmental, social, and financial standards. We are convinced that this path strengthens our leadership in the energy transition and provides concrete solutions to ensure a safer, more sustainable, and accessible supply for all Argentinians.”
