Electricity system
Argentina's wholesale electricity market and national interconnected system are coordinated by CAMMESA. The Secretariat of Energy sets national policy and ENRE regulates federal electricity transmission and distribution services.
Grid context
CAMMESA coordinates dispatch and system operation across the national interconnected system, while transmission and distribution concessionaires manage physical connections under the federal electricity framework. Large renewable additions depend on available transmission capacity, particularly from Patagonia and the northwest.
