Overview
- The decree formalizes a National Plan to grow the transmission network through national and international tenders under the Law of Concession of Work.
- Concessionaires will finance, build, operate and maintain lines and associated infrastructure without direct state contributions.
- Officials say the program targets outage risk, structural bottlenecks and constraints that limit moving power from generation hubs to consumption centers.
- The policy is presented as a way to unlock delayed investment, bolster system reliability and support demand growth and new generation.
- In a related move, the government opened an international tender to sell the state’s Transener stake on the Contrat.ar platform, with offers due March 23, 2026.
