On April 26, 2024, the Secretariat of Energy requested CAMMESA to proceed with the disconnection of steam turbines COSTTV04 and COSTTV06 (470 MW in total) of Central Costanera, following a solicitation originally made by Enel, former owner of that plant, and followed up by the Company. This update has no impact on revenues: these turbines have not been operating since long time ago.

The 2,262 MW are remunerated under Resolution 59/23 (combined cycles).

The results presented for the annual period 2023 and 4Q23 are negatively affected at a non-cash level as a consequence of the sharp devaluation of the local currency occurred in mid-December 2023. Given that the functional currency of the company is the Argentine peso, our Financial Statements are subject to inflation adjustment, while Company's figures are converted into US dollars using the end of period official exchange rate. Thus, given the significant disparity between inflation and devaluation for the period, it might affect comparability.
The FX rate used to convert Argentine Pesos to U.S. dollars is the reference exchange rate (Communication "A" 3500) reported by the Central Bank for U.S. dollars as of 31/12/24 or 31/12723, as appropriate. Annual figures are the sum of the quarterly results converted to dollars at the EOP FX rate of each period.
On February 22, 2024, it was published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Argentina, the request submitted by Central Costanera for the decommissioning of steam generation units COSTTV04
and COSTTV06, for a total installed capacity of 120 MW and 350 MW, respectively. This was a request originally made by Enel, former owner of that plant, and followed up by the Company. This update has no impact on revenues since these turbines have not been operating since long time ago.
