Central Puerto S.A., incorporated in 1992 and headquartered in Buenos Aires, Argentina, is one of the country’s leading independent power producers, specializing in the generation of electric energy from both conventional and renewable sources. The company operates 14 power plants across six provinces, with an installed capacity of over 6,703 MW, supplying approximately 20% of Argentina’s private sector electricity generation. Its diversified portfolio includes combined cycle, gas and steam turbines, hydroelectric, wind, solar, and cogeneration plants, as well as operations in natural gas transport and distribution, forestry, and mining. Central Puerto is publicly traded on the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange (BCBA: CEPU) and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: CEPU).

The company is led by CEO Fernando Roberto Bonnet and Chairman Osvaldo Arturo Reca. Historically, Central Puerto emerged from the privatization of Argentina’s energy sector in the early 1990s and has since expanded its footprint through strategic investments and partnerships, including stakes in three combined-cycle plants under the FONINVEMEM program. Its most recognizable assets include wind farms like La Castellana I & II and Achiras I, and it continues to invest in renewable energy projects and sustainable forestry initiatives.
