Overview
- Carlos Casares submitted his resignation as ENARGAS interventor, writing that the administration considered him “prescindible” after he was not called to the ENRGE board.
- Casares said he had applied to the public background-based selection process to join ENRGE’s directorate but was not summoned.
- ENRGE will replace ENARGAS and ENRE as an autarkic regulator under the Energy Secretariat within the Economy Ministry, with operations scheduled to start in March.
- The ENRGE board will include a president, a vice president, and three members chosen by the Executive after a Secretariat-led process, with five-year renewable, staggered terms requiring technical experience.
- His exit comes during a broader turnover that includes Transport Secretary Luis Pierrini replaced by Fernando Herrmann, UIF head Paulo Starc succeeded by Ernesto Gáspari, and changes at Trenes Argentinos with new leaders Sebastián Giorgetti and Fabián González.
