Overview
- The change affects about 79,500 users, including roughly 66,900 in Greater Buenos Aires under Edenor and Edesur and 12,600 in interior areas regulated by OCEBA.
- Lower‑income households may continue receiving the provincial social tariff only if they register with OCEBA and meet eligibility criteria.
- The national government’s proposal under consultation consolidates three user categories into two, with subsidized consumption caps of up to 300 kWh in high-demand months and 150 kWh in temperate months.
- Provincial officials said middle‑income users will lose national subsidies under the new framework, though some may still qualify for the provincial benefit if registered and eligible.
- Minister Carlos Bianco announced the measures and indicated further implementation details will be provided in the coming weeks.
