Central Puerto (NYSE: CEPU) and YPF Luz have signed a strategic agreement to jointly develop an electric power transmission line project in Argentina's Puna region.

The infrastructure development includes constructing 140-350 km of transmission lines, requiring an investment between $250-400 million. This marks the first collaboration between two major electricity generators for a large-scale electrical infrastructure project in Argentina. The initiative will connect the mining sector and local communities to the Argentine Interconnection System, supporting the region's mining industry development and economic growth, particularly in critical minerals essential for energy transition.
