Overview
- The three provinces submitted a formal filing asking ENRE to audit Transnoa, impose penalties, compel disclosure of investment plans, and require local customer-service offices and infrastructure details.
- The petition cites 132 kV transmission failures from January 22–24 that left hundreds of thousands without power across Salta, Jujuy and Tucumán, with knock-on effects such as halted water pumping.
- Salta governor Gustavo Sáenz met national energy officials to press for tighter ENRE inspections and corrective orders, with the regulator’s response and any sanctions still unannounced.
- Nationally, ENRE resolutions 21/2026 and 22/2026 put the new SEF subsidy scheme into effect, while Salta plans about ARS 10,000 million in 2026 to shield high-heat zones and vulnerable users.
- Consumer compensation mechanisms are active, shown by an Edesur user’s ARS 414,801 refund for prolonged outages after formal claims, though enforcement outcomes for Transnoa remain pending.
