General Information | |
General information | Note 1 | General information Empresa Distribuidora y Comercializadora Norte S.A. (hereinafter “ edenor sociedad anónima The corporate purpose of edenor edenor History and development of the Company edenor By means of an International Public Bidding, the PEN awarded 51 edenor On September 1, 1992, EASA took over the operations of edenor As a consequence of the share purchase and sale agreement entered into on December 28, 2020 between Pampa Energía S.A. and Empresa de Energía del Cono Sur S.A., all the Class A shares, representing 51% of the Company’s share capital and votes were transferred to the latter. That transaction was approved by means of ENRE Resolution No. 207/2021 dated June 24, 2021. Therefore, Empresa de Energía del Cono Sur S.A. is the parent company of edenor The Company’s economic and financial situation In the last few fiscal years, the Company recorded negative working capital, mainly as a consequence of the insufficient adjustments of the electricity rate since February 2019 -which did not comply with the terms agreed upon in the last RTI-, and the constant increase of both the operating costs and the costs of the investments necessary to maintain the quality of the service; all this in addition to the inflationary context in which the Argentine economy has been since mid-2018. Although in 2021 and 2022 the values of the Company’s electricity rate schedules suffered changes, they are insufficient to cover the economic and financial needs of the Distribution Company in a context of growing inflation, with the annual rate close to 100%, inasmuch as most of them, implied only the passing through of the seasonal prices without improving revenues from the CPD. Nevertheless, and in spite of the aforementioned context with constant increases in operating costs, the investments necessary, both for the operation of the network and for maintaining and even improving the quality of the service, have been made. The economic activity showed some recovery after the effect caused by the COVID-19 pandemic; however, the country’s macroeconomic situation with the increase in the rate of inflation, the widening of the gap between the official dollar exchange rate and the dollar exchange rate quoted in financial or free markets, and the consequences of the agreement with the International Monetary Fund make it difficult to envisage a clear-cut trend of the economy in the short term. This complex and vulnerable economic context is aggravated by the currency restrictions imposed by the BCRA pursuant to which the BCRA’s prior authorization is required for certain transactions, such as the Company’s transactions associated with the payment of imports of goods that are necessary for the provision of the service and the payments to service the financial debt. As a consequence of the described context, the Company witnessed an even greater deterioration of its economic and financial equation due to the long overdue adjustment of rates, the impossibility of taking legal action to enforce payment of debts for electricity consumed but not paid, and the increase in costs on the Company’s operating structure and supplies. Therefore, it became necessary to partially postpone payments to CAMMESA for energy purchased in the MEM as from the maturities taking place in March 2020 63,689 79,640 Despite the previously detailed situation, it is worth pointing out that, in general terms, the quality of the electricity distribution service has been improved, both in duration and frequency of power cuts. In view of the continuous increase of the costs associated with the provision of the service, as well as the need for additional investments to meet the demand, the Company continues to analyze different measures aimed at mitigating the negative effects of this situation on its financial structure, such as the already adopted one related to the restructuring of its financial debt (Note 39), the signing of the Memorandum of Agreement on the Regularization of Payment Obligations (Note 2.c), and the recent electricity rate adjustment provided for by the previously mentioned ENRE Resolution, thus minimizing the impact on the sources of employment, the execution of the investment plan, and the carrying out of the essential operation, maintenance and improvement-related works that are necessary to maintain the provision of the public service, object of the concession, in a satisfactory manner in terms of quality and reliability. Due to that which has been previously described, the Board of Directors concluded that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt (or raise substantial doubt as contemplated by PCAOB standards) about edenor Nevertheless, these financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue to operate as a going concern, and do not include the adjustments or reclassifications that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties, inasmuch as this Distribution Company has historically been provided with transitional solutions that have made it possible to partially restore the economic and financial equation and ensure the operation of its distribution networks, due to the essential service its provides. |
Regulatory framework
Regulatory framework | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2022 | |
Regulatory Framework | |
Regulatory framework | Note 2 | Regulatory framework a) Concession The term of the concession is 95 51 edenor The Company has the exclusive right to render electric power distribution and sales services within the concession area to all the customers who are not authorized to obtain their power supply from the MEM, thus being obliged to supply all the electric power that may be required in due time and in accordance with the established quality levels. In addition, the Company must allow free access to its facilities to any MEM agents whenever required, under the terms of the Concession. No specific fee must be paid by the Company under the Concession Agreement during the term of the concession. The Company is subject to the terms and conditions of its Concession Agreement and the provisions of the Regulatory Framework comprised of Federal Laws Nos. 14,772, 15,336 and 24,065, Executive Order No. 714/92 of the PEN, resolutions and regulatory and supplementary regulations issued by the authorities responsible for this matter, with the Company being responsible for the provision of the public service of electricity distribution and sale with a satisfactory quality level, complying for such purpose with the requirements set forth in both the aforementioned agreement and the Regulatory Framework. Failure to comply with the established guidelines will result in the application of penalties, based on the economic damage suffered by the customer when the service is provided in an unsatisfactory manner, the amounts of which will be determined in accordance with the methodology stipulated in the above-mentioned agreement. The ENRE is the authority in charge of controlling strict compliance with the pre-established guidelines. b) Electricity rate situation On April 18, 2022, by means of SE Resolutions Nos. 235 and 236/2022, the PEN called a Public Hearing to be held on May 11 and 12, 2022, respectively, to consider the following issues: - new reference prices of the Seasonal Price of Electricity (PEST), applicable as from June 1, 2022; - implementation of the segmentation of Customers for the granting of Federal Government subsidies on energy prices to the users of the electric service, for the 2022-2023 biennium. Neither of the above-mentioned items represent an improvement in the Company’s revenues from the CPD; they only imply the transfer of prices to and/or elimination of subsidies on the amounts to be billed to the Users. In line with the foregoing, on June 16, 2022, by means of Executive Order No. 332/2022, the PEN establishes the rate segmentation system. Subsequently, by means of Resolution No. 467 dated June 27, 2022, the Energy Secretariat, as the defined application authority, instructs the Undersecretariat of Energy Planning to implement the aforementioned segmentation, which is carried out by means of Directive No. 1 dated June 28, 2022. In relation thereto, on September 15, 2022, by means of SE Resolution No. 649/2022, it is provided that those households that have registered in “Level 3 – Average Income” will be charged the seasonal reference prices defined for “Level 1, Distributor Residential Demand” for the consumption of electricity exceeding 400 KWh per month. Consequently, by means of ENRE Resolution No. 434/2022, the values of the electricity rate schedules for such category are modified. Furthermore, on November 14, 2022, by means of Resolution No. 576/2022, the ENRE called a Public Hearing for January 23, 2023, to make known and listen to opinions on the proposals aimed at obtaining a transitional adjustment of the electricity rate, with such Public Hearing being held in the framework of the RTI renegotiation process and prior to defining the electricity rates to be applied by the concession holders. In the above-mentioned Hearing, the Company stated its position on the imbalances of the electricity rate as compared to that of other concession holders outside the AMBA and as compared to other essential services, putting an emphasis on the opportunity to correct these imbalances and committing itself to maintain the level of investments necessary to maintain the operation of the network. Finally, on February 17, 2023, the SE instructed the ENRE to apply to the electricity rates the increase in the VAD, stating that the transitional electricity rate adjustment was to take place on or prior to March 1, 2023. Accordingly, on February 28, 2023, by means of Resolution No. 241/2023, the ENRE approved the new electricity rate schedules, applicable as from April 1 and June 1, 2023, with the aim of implementing the increase in the value of the consumers’ bills in two tranches. The following resolutions were issued by the SE and the ENRE, in connection with the Company’s electricity rate schedules and the seasonal reference prices (Stabilized Price of Energy and Power Reference Price): Schedule of electricity rate Resolution Date What it approves Effective as from SE No. 305/2022 April 29, 2022 Seasonal reference prices (1) May 1 ENRE No. 146/2022 May 6, 2022 Electricity rate schedules May 1 SE No. 405/2022 May 27, 2022 Seasonal reference prices June 1 ENRE No. 171/2022 May 31, 2022 Electricity rate schedules June 1 SE No. 605/2022 July 28, 2022 Seasonal reference prices August 1 ENRE No. 222/2022 July 29, 2022 Electricity rate schedules August 1 SE No. 627/2022 August 25, 2022 Seasonal reference prices September 1 ENRE No. 313/2022 September 7, 2022 Electricity rate schedules September 1 SE No. 649/2022 September 13, 2022 Seasonal reference prices September 1 ENRE No. 434/2022 September 22, 2022 Electricity rate schedules September 1 ENRE No. 484/2022 October 6, 2022 Electricity rate schedules (2) September 1 SE No. 719/2022 October 28, 2022 Seasonal reference prices (3) November 1 ENRE No. 554/2022 November 2, 2022 Electricity rate schedules November 1 SE No. 54/2023 February 1, 2023 Seasonal reference prices February 1 ENRE No. 177/2023 February 2, 2023 Electricity rate schedules February 1 ENRE No. 241/2023 February 28, 2023 Electricity rate schedules April 1 and June 1 (1) It approves the Winter Seasonal Programming for the MEM submitted by CAMMESA, relating to the May 1, 2022-October 31, 2022 period. (2) It amends the average electricity rate approved by ENRE Resolution No. 434/2022, which implied a 3.8% decrease thereof, according to the valuation of the residential user category’s consumption during the month of September. (3) It approves the Summer Seasonal Programming for the MEM submitted by CAMMESA, relating to the November 1, 2022-April 30, 2023 period. c) Memorandum of Agreement on Regularization of Payment Obligations – Debt for the purchase of energy in the MEM On December 29, 2022, and following the guidelines set forth in both the FY2021 National Government Budget, section 87 of Law No. 27,591, and Resolution No. 40/2021 of the Energy Secretariat concerning the “Special system for the settlement of debts”, the Company, the Federal Government, the ENRE, and CAMMESA agreed on the Memorandum of Agreement on the Regularization of Payment Obligations, pursuant to which the Company recognizes to owe CAMMESA a sum of $ 57,159 24,174 Consequently, once the aforementioned credits have been deducted, the Company agrees to pay a debt of $ 32,985 50 Pursuant to Article Six of the Memorandum of Agreement, the granting by the ENRE of an increase in the VAD is a condition precedent to the payment of all the obligations when due; therefore, the Company’s Management believes that the event required in order for the substitution of the debt (novation) to take place did not occur in 2022; accordingly, the impact thereof is not recognized in the fiscal year. As regards the credits recognized by the SE, the Company considers them to be vested rights inasmuch as they are not subject to any condition whatsoever and will be implemented by means of commercial documents to be issued by CAMMESA, with the effects thereof thus being recognized in the current fiscal year. The above-mentioned credits relate to the following concepts: Schedule Of Credits Relate Concepts Concept Amount a) Implementation of policies to benefit the demand (2 bills) $ 9,670 b) Maintenance of electricity rates (1 bill) $ 4,835 c) Investment Plan (0.37 bills) $ 1,802 d) Section 2 Res. 642/22 (1.63 bills) $ 7,867 5 bills $ 24,174 a) is earmarked exclusively for the regularization of the debt of delinquent users benefited from the policies implemented to benefit the demand, giving priority to those who have benefited from the provisions of Executive Order No. 311/2020, Neighborhood Sports Clubs and Public Welfare Organizations. Consequently, the Company’s trade receivables, whose debt had stemmed from delinquency or non-payment during the ASPO or DISPO are offset, and compensation amounts as a consequence of an exceptional emergency measure adopted by the Federal Government are recognized. b) and d) require no specific action from the Company. c) relates to the specific Investment Plan carried out by the Company in 2021. In this regard, the Company recognizes a deferred income item for such amount, as provided for by IAS 20 “Government Grants”. The combined effect of the previously described captions amounts to $ 18,136 2,650 d) Framework Agreement On December 16, 2020, the “Agreement on the Development of the Preventive and Corrective Maintenance Works Plan for the Electricity Distribution Network of the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area”, was signed with the Federal Government and the province of Buenos Aires, to guarantee the electricity supply to vulnerable neighborhoods of the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area. The debt for the electricity supplied in the October 2017 – July 2020 period to low-income areas and shantytowns in edenor 2,126 All these amounts will be applied to the Works Plan in order that the necessary investment and preventive and corrective maintenance works can be carried out in the networks in charge of distribution companies and related to vulnerable neighborhoods and other areas of the concession area, with the aim of improving the service therein provided and meeting the contingencies and any peak demand that often occurs in the summer. The Company may use the funds only after the ENRE has certified compliance with both the degree of completion of the works included in the referred to plan and the related financial milestones. As of December 31, 2022, negotiations are underway between the Company and the ENRE concerning the other disbursements stipulated in the agreement, which total an additional $1,000 relating to the second and third disbursements, plus a fourth disbursement in accordance with that which the ENRE will validate and inform about the vulnerable neighborhoods’ total consumption between August and December 2020. At the date of issuance of these financial statements, the Company has used a total of $ 3,016, $ 1,517 of which has not yet been credited, relating to the reports on progress of the works performed. The income recognized in fiscal year 2022, which relates to reports on progress of the works performed with the Company’s own funds amounts to $ 1,222 (which at the purchasing power of the currency at December 31, 2022 amounts to $ 1,760). Furthermore, on December 21, 2022, the “Agreement on Recognition of Electricity Consumption in Vulnerable Neighborhoods of the Province of Buenos Aires” was entered into with the Federal Government and the Province of Buenos Aires. The Federal Government and the Province of Buenos Aires are (according to Executive Order No. 1974/2004) jointly responsible for the cost of the electricity related to the consumption of the collective meters of vulnerable neighborhoods. Because of that, the parties enter into the Agreement in order to settle the amounts relating to the cost of the consumption of electricity recorded by the collective meters, including the reimbursement of the Seasonal Price of Energy and the Power Reference Price in the MEM (plus transmission fees and the charge relating to the National Fund of Electricity). Taking into consideration that, as informed by the ENRE in relation to the consumption of the January-December 2021 period, the Federal Government has to make a contribution of $ 917 336 1,253 At the date of issuance of these financial statements, the Company has recognized a total of $ 1,253 e) Agreement on the Regularization of Obligations – May 2019 On May 10, 2019, edenor for damages caused by the freeze on rates since 2017 will be abandoned. The effects of this agreement were recognized in the Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2019. On January 19, 2021, the Federal Government, the PBA and the CABA according to which ). On September 21, 2021, the National Ministry of Economy issued ME Resolution No. 590/2021 declaring the Agreement contrary to the public interest, thus paving the way for the filing of a legal action to declare it null and void. It also provided for the suspension of the administrative procedures relating to the fulfilment of the obligations arising from such Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, at the date of issuance of these financial statements, the Company has not been served notice of the filing of any legal action in order for the Agreement or the acts resulting therefrom to be declared null and void. The administrative act in question has not provided for the suspension of the legal effects of said Agreement, which is, therefore, in full force and effect. Against this resolution the Company has filed an appeal ( recurso jerárquico Finally, on August 22, 2022, by means of ENRE Resolution No. 292/2022, it is provided that all the proceedings be provisionally terminated because the docket shows no activity as a result of ME Resolutions Nos. 590 and 656/2021, and that the provisions of such resolutions shall be in effect until notice of the final judgements on the related proceedings is given to the ENRE by any reliable means. f) Penalties The ENRE is empowered to control the quality levels of the technical product and service, the commercial service and the compliance with public safety regulations, as provided for in the Concession Agreement. If the Distribution Company fails to comply with the obligations assumed, the ENRE may apply the penalties stipulated in the aforementioned Agreement. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company has recognized in its financial statements the penalties accrued, whether imposed or not yet issued by the ENRE, relating to the control periods elapsed as of those dates, following the criteria and estimates available, which may differ from the actual ones. Furthermore, ENRE Resolution No. 63/17, as amended and supplemented, has set out the control procedures, the service quality assessment methodologies, and the penalty system, applicable as from February 1, 2017, for the 2017–2022 period. In accordance with the provisions of Sub-Appendix XVI to the referred to Resolution, the Company is required to submit in a term of sixty calendar days the calculation of global indicators, interruptions for which force majeure had been alleged, the calculation of individual indicators, and will determine the related discounts, crediting the amounts thereof within ten business days. In turn, the ENRE will examine the information submitted by the Company, and in the event that the crediting of such discounts were not verified will impose a fine, payable to the Federal Government, equivalent to twice the value that should have been recorded. In this regard, the ENRE has implemented an automatic penalty mechanism in order that the discounts on account of deviations from the established limits may be credited to customers within a term of sixty days as from the end of the controlled six-month period. The penalty system provides that penalties are updated in accordance with the variation of the Distributor’s CPD or by the energy tariff average price, as the case may be. Subsequently, in different resolutions related to commercial penalties and penalties relating to the safety on streets and public spaces, the Regulatory Authority provided for the application of increases and adjustments, applying for such purpose a criterion different from the one applied by the Company. By means of Resolution No. 15/2021, the ENRE approved the new methodology for crediting and distributing the penalties payable to all the Active Users and the modality of crediting penalties to the Solidarity Account for Users in Vulnerable Situations, as well as the manner in which edenor Furthermore, there exist certain penalties related to the quality of the information and the quality of the technical service, the penalty procedure of which is being challenged by the Company due to the fact that it applies retroactively to time-barred periods and has calculation defects in relation to the applicable regulations. The effects of the resolutions detailed in this note have been quantified by the Company and recognized as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, which does not imply the Company’s consent to the applied criteria. g) Restriction on the transfer of the Company’s common shares The by-laws provide that Class “A” shareholders may transfer their shares only with the prior approval of the ENRE. The ENRE must communicate its decision within ninety days upon submission of the request for such approval, otherwise the transfer will be deemed approved. Furthermore, Caja de Valores S.A. (the Public Register Office), which keeps the Share Register of the shares, is entitled (as stated in the by-laws) to reject such entries which, at its criterion, do not comply with the rules for the transfer of common shares included in (i) the Business Organizations Law, (ii) the Concession Agreement and (iii) the By-laws. In addition, the Class “A” shares will be pledged during the entire term of the concession as collateral to secure the performance of the obligations assumed under the Concession Agreement. In connection with the issuance of Corporate Notes, during the term thereof, Empresa de Energía del Cono Sur S.A. is required to be the beneficial owner and owner of record of not less than 51% of the Company’s issued, voting and outstanding shares, otherwise the maturity of principal of the corporate notes could be accelerated. |

Basis Of Preparation | |
Basis of preparation | Note 3 | Basis of preparation The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 have been prepared in accordance with IFRS issued by the IASB and IFRIC interpretations, which have been adopted and incorporated by the CNV. The financial statements were approved for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on March 9, 2023. By means of General Resolution No. 622/2013, the CNV provided for the application of Technical Resolution No. 26 of the FACPCE, which adopts the IFRS issued by the IASB, for those entities that are included in the public offering system of Law No. 17,811, as amended, whether on account of their capital or their corporate notes, or have requested authorization to be included in the aforementioned system. Comparative information The balances as of December 31, 2021, disclosed in these financial statements for comparative purposes, arise as a result of restating the financial statements as of that date to the purchasing power of the currency at December 31, 2022. This, as a consequence of the restatement of the financial information described hereunder. Furthermore, certain amounts of the financial statements presented on a comparative basis have been reclassified in order to maintain consistency of presentation with the amounts of the reporting year. Restatement of financial information The financial statements as of December 31, 2022, including the figures relating to the previous year, have been stated in terms of the measuring unit current at December 31, 2022, in accordance with IAS 29 “Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies”. As a result thereof, the financial statements are stated in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting year. The inflation rate applied for the fiscal year commenced January 1, 2022 and ended December 31, 2022, based on that indicated in the preceding paragraph, was 94.8%. According to IAS 29, the restatement of financial statements is necessary when the functional currency of an entity is that of a hyperinflationary economy. To define a state of hyperinflation, IAS 29 provides a set of guidelines, including but not limited to the following, which consist of (i) analyzing the behavior of population, prices, interest rates and wages faced with the development of price indexes and the loss of the currency’s purchasing power, and (ii) as a quantitative feature, which, in practice, is the mostly considered condition, verifying whether the cumulative inflation rate over three years approaches or exceeds 100%. Consequently, the Argentine economy should be regarded as highly inflationary as from July 1, 2018. The standard states that the adjustment will be resumed from the date on which it was last made, February 2003. Moreover, on July 24, 2018, the FACPCE issued a communication confirming that which has been previously mentioned. Additionally, it should be taken into account that on December 4, 2018 the Official Gazette In order to not only assess the aforementioned quantitative condition but also restate the financial statements, the CNV has stated that the series of indexes to be used for the application of IAS 29 is that determined by the FACPCE. That series of indexes combines the CPI published by the INDEC from January 2017 (base month: December 2016) with the WPI published by the INDEC through that date, computing for the months of November and December 2015 -in respect of which there is no available information from the INDEC on the development of the WPI-, the variation recorded in the CPI of the City of Buenos Aires. Taking into consideration the above-mentioned index, in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the inflation rate amounted to 94.8 50.9 36.13 53.77 47.66 The effects of the application of IAS 29 are summarized below: Restatement of the Statement of Financial Position (i) Monetary items (those with a fixed nominal value in local currency) are not restated inasmuch as they are already expressed in terms of the measuring unit current at the closing date of the reporting year. (ii) Non-monetary items carried at historical cost or at the current value of a date prior to the end of the reporting year are restated using coefficients that reflect the variation recorded in the general level of prices from the date of acquisition or revaluation to the closing date of the reporting year. Depreciation charges of property, plant and equipment and amortization charges of intangible assets recognized in profit or loss for the year, as well as any other consumption of non-monetary assets will be determined on the basis of the new restated amounts. (iii) The restatement of non-monetary assets in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting year without an equivalent adjustment for tax purposes, gives rise to a taxable temporary difference and to the recognition of a deferred tax liability, whose contra-account is recognized. Restatement of the Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) (i) Income and expenses are restated from the date when they were recorded, except for those profit or loss items that reflect or include in their determination the consumption of assets carried at the purchasing power of the currency as of a date prior to the recording of the consumption, which are restated based on the date when the asset to which the item is related originated (for example, depreciation, impairment and other consumptions of assets valued at historical cost). (ii) The net gain from the maintenance of monetary assets and liabilities is presented in a line item separately from the profit or loss for the year, called RECPAM. Restatement of the Statement of Changes in Equity (i) The components of equity, except for reserved earnings and unappropriated retained earnings, have been restated from the dates on which they were contributed, or on which they were otherwise set up. (ii) The restated unappropriated retained earnings were determined by the difference between net assets restated at the date of transition and the other components of opening equity expressed as indicated in the preceding headings. (iii) After the restatement at the date indicated in (i) above, all components of equity are restated by applying the general price index from the beginning of the year, and each variation of those components is restated from the date of contribution or the date on which it otherwise arose. Restatement of the Statement of Cash Flows IAS 29 requires all the items of this Statement to be restated in terms of the measuring unit current at the closing date of the reporting year. The monetary gain or loss generated by cash and cash equivalents is presented in the statement of cash flows separately from cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as a specific item of the reconciliation between cash and cash equivalents at the beginning and end of the year. |

Accounting Policies | |
Accounting policies | Note 4 | Accounting policies The main accounting policies used in the preparation of these Financial Statements are detailed below. Note 4.1 | New accounting standards, amendments and interpretations issued by the IASB that are effective as of December 31, 2022 and have been adopted by the Company The Company has first applied the following standards and/or amendments s from January 1, 2022: - IAS 16 “Property, plant and equipment”, amended in May 2020: It incorporates amendments to the recognition of inventories, sales and costs of items produced while bringing an item of property, plant and equipment to the location and condition necessary for its intended use. - Annual improvements to IFRS – 2018-2020 Cycle: the amendments were issued in May 2020. Includes amendments to IFRS 1 “First-time adoption of IFRS”; IFRS 9 “Financial instruments”; IFRS 16 “Leases”; and IAS 41 “Agriculture”. - IFRS 3 “Business combinations”, amended in May 2020. It incorporates references to the definitions of assets and liabilities in the new Conceptual Framework and clarifications on contingent assets and liabilities that are incurred separately from those assumed in a business combination. - IAS 37 “Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets”, amended in May 2020. It clarifies the scope of the concept of cost of fulfilling an onerous contract. There are no new IFRS or IFRIC applicable as from this fiscal year that have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. New accounting standards, amendments and interpretations issued by the IASB that are not yet effective and have not been early adopted by the Company - IFRS 17 “Insurance contracts”, issued in May 2017 and amended in June 2020 and December 2021. It replaces IFRS 4, introduced as an interim standard in 2004, which allowed entities to account for insurance contracts using their local accounting requirements, resulting in multiple application approaches. IFRS 17 sets the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of insurance contracts, and applies to annual periods beginning as from January 1, 2023, allowing for its early adoption for entities already applying IFRS 9 and IFRS 15. The Company estimates that the application thereof will impact neither the Company’s results of operations nor its financial position. - IAS 1 “Presentation of financial statements”, amended in January and July 2020, February 2021 and October 2022. It incorporates amendments to the classification of liabilities as current or non-current. It also incorporates the requirement that an entity disclose its material accounting policies rather than its significant accounting policies. It explains how a company can identify a material accounting policy. The amendments apply to annual periods beginning as from January 1, 2023 and January 1, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The application thereof will impact neither the Company’s results of operations nor its financial position. - IAS 8 “Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors”, amended in February 2021. It replaces the definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are monetary amounts in the financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty. The amendments apply to annual periods beginning as from January 1, 2023. The Company estimates that the application thereof will impact neither the Company’s results of operations nor its financial position. - IAS 12 “Income tax”, amended in May 2021. It clarifies how an entity accounts for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations. The amendments apply to annual periods beginning as from January 1, 2023. - IFRS 16 “Leases”, amended in September 2022: It clarifies how a seller-lessee subsequently measures sale and leaseback transactions that satisfy the requirements in IFRS 15 to be accounted for as a sale. The amendments apply to annual periods beginning as from January 1, 2024. Note 4.2 | Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment, except for works in progress, is valued at acquisition cost restated to reflect the effects of inflation, net of accumulated depreciation and recognized impairment losses. Depreciation has been calculated by applying the straight-line method over the remaining useful life of the assets, which was determined on the basis of engineering studies. Subsequent costs (major maintenance and reconstruction costs) are either included in the value of the assets or recognized as a separate asset, only if it is probable that the future benefits associated with the assets will flow to the Company, being it possible as well that the costs of the assets may be measured reliably and the investment will improve the condition of the asset beyond its original state. The other maintenance and repair expenses are recognized in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred. In accordance with the Concession Agreement, the Company may not pledge the assets used in the provision of the public service nor grant any other security interest thereon in favor of third parties, without prejudice to the Company’s right to freely dispose of those assets which in the future may become inadequate or unnecessary for such purpose. This prohibition does not apply in the case of security interests granted over an asset at the time of its acquisition and/or construction as collateral for payment of the purchase and/or installation price. The residual value and the remaining useful lives of the assets are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each fiscal year (reporting period). Land is not depreciated Facilities in service: between 30 and 50 years Furniture, tools and equipment: between 5 and 20 years Construction in process is valued based on the degree of completion and is recorded at cost restated to reflect the effects of inflation less any impairment loss, if applicable. Cost includes expenses attributable to the construction, when they are part of the cost incurred for the purposes of acquisition, construction or production of property, plant and equipment that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use. These assets begin to be depreciated when they are in economic conditions of use. Gains and losses on the sale of property, plant and equipment are calculated by comparing the price collected with the carrying amount of the asset, and are recognized within Other operating expense or Other operating income in the Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The Company considers three alternative probability-weighted scenarios and analyzes the recoverability of its long-lived assets as described in Critical accounting estimates and judgments. The valuation of property, plant and equipment, taken as a whole, does not exceed its recoverable value, which is measured as the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell at the end of the year (Note 6.c). Note 4.3 | Interests in joint ventures The main conceptual definitions are as follow: i. A joint arrangement takes place among two or more parties when they have joint control: joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. ii. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. Such parties are called joint venturers. iii. A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. These parties are called joint operators. The Company accounts for its investment in joint ventures in accordance with the equity method. Under this method, the interest is initially recognized at cost and subsequently adjusted by recognizing the Company’s share in the profit or loss obtained by the joint venture, after acquisition date. The Company recognizes in profit or loss its share of the joint venture’s profit or loss and in other comprehensive income its share of the joint venture’s other comprehensive income. When the Company carries out transactions in the joint ventures, the unrealized gains and losses are eliminated in accordance with the percentage interest held by the Company in the jointly controlled entity. The joint ventures’ accounting policies have been modified and adapted, if applicable, to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company. Furthermore, taking into account that the interests in joint ventures are not regarded as significant balances, the disclosures required under IFRS 12 have not been made. Note 4.4 | Revenue recognition a. Revenue from sales Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration collected or to be collected, taking into account the estimated amount of any discount, thus determining the net amounts. Revenue from the electricity supplied by the Company to low-income areas and shantytowns is recognized to the extent that a renewal of the Framework Agreement is formalized for the period in which the service was rendered. At the date of issuance of these financial statements, the Company is negotiating the extensions of the Framework Agreement with the Federal and the Provincial Governments, as the case may be (Note 2.d). Revenue from operations is recognized on an accrual basis and derives mainly from electricity distribution. Such revenue includes electricity supplied, whether billed or unbilled, at the end of each year, which has been valued on the basis of applicable electricity rates. The Company also recognizes revenue from other concepts included in distribution services, such as new connections, reconnections, rights of use on poles, transmission of electricity to other distribution companies, inasmuch as the services are provided on the basis of the price established in each contract. Revenue is not adjusted for the effect of the financing components as sales’ payments are not deferred over time, which is consistent with market practice. The aforementioned revenue from operations was recognized when all of the following conditions were met: 1. The Entity transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards; 2. The amount of revenue was measured reliably; 3. It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Entity; 4. The costs incurred or to be incurred, in respect of the transaction, were measured reliably. b. Interest income Interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate method. Interest income is recorded in the accounting on a time basis by reference to the principal amount outstanding and the applicable effective rate. Interest income is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Entity and the amount of the transaction can be measured reliably. Note 4.5 | Effects of the changes in foreign currency exchange rates a. Functional and presentation currency The information included in the financial statements is measured using the Company’s functional currency, which is the currency of the main economic environment in which the Entity operates. The financial statements are measured in pesos (legal currency in Argentina), restated to reflect the effects of inflation as indicated in Note 3, which is also the presentation currency. b. Transactions and balances Foreign currency denominated transactions and balances are translated into the functional and presentation currency using the rates of exchange prevailing at the date of the transactions or revaluation, respectively. The gains and losses generated by foreign currency exchange differences resulting from each transaction and from the translation of monetary items valued in foreign currency at the end of the year are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The foreign currency exchange rates used are the buying and selling rate for monetary assets and liabilities, respectively, and the specific exchange rate for foreign currency denominated transactions. Note 4.6 | Trade and other receivables a. Trade receivables The receivables arising from services billed to customers but not collected as well as those arising from services rendered but unbilled at the closing date of each year are recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The receivables from electricity supplied to low-income areas and shantytowns are recognized, along with revenue, when the Framework Agreement has been renewed for the period in which the service was provided and the Federal or the Provincial Government assumes responsibility for the payment of consumption. b. Other receivables Other receivables are initially recognized at fair value (generally the original billing/settlement amount) and subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method, and when significant, adjusted by the time value of money. The Company records impairment allowances when there is objective evidence that it will not be able to collect all the amounts owed to it in accordance with the original terms of the receivables. Assigned and held-in-custody assets are measured in accordance with Note 4.8. The subsidies received from the Government are recognized when the defined works plans are carried out. Note 4.7 | Inventories The Company’s inventories are materials and supplies to be consumed in the service rendering process. Inventories are valued at acquisition cost restated to reflect the effects of inflation, less recognized impairment losses. They are valued based on the purchase price, import duties (if applicable), and other taxes (that are not subsequently recovered), and other costs directly attributable to the acquisition of those assets. Cost is determined by applying the weighted average price (WAP) method. The Company has classified inventories into current and non-current depending on the period of time in which they are expected to be used, whether for maintenance or capital expenditures. The non-current portion of inventories is disclosed in the “Property, plant and equipment” account. The valuation of inventories, taken as a whole, does not exceed their recoverable value at the end of each fiscal year. Note 4.8 | Financial assets Note 4.8.1 | Classification The Company classifies financial assets into the following categories: those measured at amortized cost and those subsequently measured at fair value. This classification depends on whether the financial asset is an investment in a debt or an equity instrument. In order for a financial asset to be measured at amortized cost, the two conditions described in the following paragraph must be met. All other financial assets are measured at fair value. IFRS 9 requires that all investments in equity instruments be measured at fair value. a. Financial assets at amortized cost Financial assets are measured at amortized cost if the following conditions are met: i. The objective of the Company’s business model is to hold the assets to collect the contractual cash flows; and ii. The contractual terms give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on principal. b. Financial assets at fair value If any of the above-detailed conditions is not met, financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss. All investments in equity instruments are measured at fair value. For those investments that are not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect at the time of their initial recognition to present the changes in fair value in other comprehensive income. The Company’s decision was to recognize the changes in fair value in profit or loss. Note 4.8.2 | Recognition and measurement The regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized on the trade date, i.e. the date on which the Company agrees to acquire or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive the cash flows from the investments have expired or been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the assets. Financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of those financial assets. The gains or losses generated by investments in debt instruments that are subsequently measured at fair value and are not part of a hedging transaction are recognized in profit or loss. Those generated by investments in debt instruments that are subsequently measured at amortized cost and are not part of a hedging transaction are recognized in profit or loss when the financial asset is derecognized or impaired and by means of the amortization process using the effective interest rate method. The Company subsequently measures all the investments in equity instruments at fair value. When it elects to present the changes in fair value in other comprehensive income, such changes cannot be reclassified to profit or loss. Dividends arising from these investments are recognized in profit or loss to the extent that they represent a return on the investment. The Company reclassifies financial assets if and only if its business model to manage financial assets is changed. The expected losses, in accordance with calculated coefficients, are detailed in Note 6.a). Note 4.8.3 | Impairment of financial assets At the end of each annual reporting period, the Company assesses whether there is objective evidence that the value of a financial asset or group of financial assets measured at amortized cost is impaired. The value of a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired, and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a “loss event”), and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably measured. Impairment tests may include evidence that the debtors or group of debtors are undergoing significant financial difficulties, have defaulted on interest or principal payments or made them after they had come due, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization, and when observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in payment terms or in the economic conditions that correlate with defaults. In the case of financial assets measured at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The asset’s carrying amount is reduced and the amount of the impairment loss is recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss). While cash, cash equivalents and financial assets measured at amortized cost are also subject to the impairment requirements of IFRS 9, the identified impairment loss is immaterial. Note 4.8.4 | Offsetting of financial instruments Financial assets and liabilities are offset, and the net amount reported in the Statement of Financial Position, when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts, and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Note 4.9 | Derivative financial instruments Derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which the relevant contract is signed. Subsequent to the initial recognition, they are remeasured at their fair value. The method for recognizing the resulting loss or gain depends on whether the derivative has been designated as a hedging instrument and, if that is the case, on the nature of the item being hedged. As of December 31, 2022, the economic impact of these transactions, which resulted in a loss of $ 173 Note 4.10 | Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from their acquisition date, with significant low risk of change in value. i. Cash and banks in local currency: at nominal value. ii. Cash and banks in foreign currency: at the exchange rate in effect at the end of the year. iii. Money market funds, which have been valued at the prevailing market price at the end of the year. Those that do not qualify as cash equivalents are disclosed in the Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss account. Note 4.11 | Equity Changes in this account have been accounted for in accordance with the relevant legal or statutory regulations and the decisions adopted by the shareholders’ meetings. a. Share capital Share capital represents issued capital, which is comprised of the contributions committed and/or made by the shareholders, represented by shares, including outstanding shares at nominal value, restated to reflect the effects of inflation as indicated in Note 3. b. Treasury stock The Treasury stock account represents the nominal value of the Company’s own shares acquired by the Company, restated to reflect the effects of inflation as indicated in Note 3. c. Other comprehensive income (loss) Represents recognition, at the end of the year, of the actuarial gain (loss) associated with the Company’s employee benefit plans, restated to reflect the effects of inflation as indicated in Note 3. d. Retained earnings Retained earnings are comprised of profits or accumulated losses with no specific appropriation. When positive, they may be distributed, if so decided by the Shareholders’ Meeting, to the extent that they are not subject to legal restrictions. Retained earnings, where applicable, are comprised of the amounts transferred from other comprehensive income and prior year adjustments due to the application of accounting standards, restated to reflect the effects of inflation as indicated in Note 3. CNV General Resolution No. 593/11 provided that Shareholders in the Meetings at which they should decide upon the approval of financial statements in which the Unappropriated retained earnings account has a positive balance, must adopt an express resolution as to the allocation of such balance, whether to dividend distribution, capitalization, setting up of reserves or a combination of these. The Company Shareholders’ Meetings have complied with the above-mentioned requirement. Note 4.12 | Trade and other payables a. Trade payables Trade payables are payment obligations with suppliers for the purchase of goods and services in the ordinary course of business. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if payments fall due within one year or in a shorter period of time. Otherwise, they are classified as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. b. Customer deposits Customer deposits are initially recognized at the amount received and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. In accordance with the Concession Agreement, the Company is allowed to receive customer deposits in the following cases: i. When the power supply is requested and the customer is unable to provide evidence of his legal ownership of the premises; ii. When service has been suspended more than once in one-year period; iii. When the power supply is reconnected and the Company is able to verify the illegal use of the service (fraud). iv. When the customer is undergoing liquidated bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings. The Company has decided not to request customer deposits from residential tariff customers. Customer deposits may be paid either in cash or through the customer’s bill and accrue monthly interest at a specific rate of BNA for each customer category. When the conditions for which the Company is allowed to receive customer deposits no longer exist, the customer’s account is credited with the principal amount plus any interest accrued thereon, after deducting, if appropriate, any amount owed by the customer to the Company. c. Customer contributions Refundable d. Other payables The financial liabilities recorded in other payables and the advances for the execution of works, are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost. The recorded liabilities for penalties accrued, whether imposed or not yet issued by the ENRE (Note 2.f), and other provisions are the best estimate of the settlement value of the present obligation in the framework of IAS 37 provisions at the closing date of these financial statements. The balances of ENRE penalties and discounts are updated in accordance with the regulatory framework applicable thereto and on the basis of the Company’s estimate of the outcome of the renegotiation process described in Note 2.f. Note 4.13 | Borrowings Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value, less direct costs incurred in the transaction. Subsequently, they are measured at amortized cost; any difference between the funds obtained (net of direct costs incurred in the transaction) and the amount to be paid at maturity is recognized in profit or loss during the term of the borrowings using the effective interest rate method. Note 4.14 | Deferred revenue Non-refundable customer contributions · Customer connection to the network: revenue is accrued until such connection is completed; · Continuous provision of the electric power supply service: throughout the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the term for the provision of the service. Government grants Note 4.15 | Employee benefits · Benefit plans The Company operates several benefit plans. Usually, benefit plans establish the amount of the benefit an employee will receive at the time of his/her retirement, generally based on one or more factors such as age, years of service and salary. The liability recognized in the Statement of Financial Position in respect of benefit plans is the present value of the benefit plan obligation at the closing date of the year, together with the adjustments for past service costs and actuarial gains or losses. The benefit plan obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries in accordance with the projected unit credit method. The present value of the benefit plan obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using actuarial assumptions about demographic and financial variables that affect the determination of the amount of such benefits. The benefit plans are not funded. The Company’s accounting policy for benefit plans is as follow: a. Service costs are immediately recorded in profit or loss, unless the changes to the benefit plan are conditional on the employees’ remaining in service for a specified period of time (the vesting period). In this case, past service costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. b. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in “Other comprehensive income” in the year in which they arise. · The Company’s Share-based Compensation Plan The Company has share-based compensation plans under which it receives services from some employees in exchange for the Company’s shares. The fair value of the services received is recognized as an operating expense in the “Salaries and social security taxes” line item. The total amount of the referred to expense is determined by reference to the fair value of the shares granted. When the employees provide the services before the shares are granted, the fair value at the grant date is estimated in order to recognize the relevant result. Furthermore, taking into account that share-based payments are not considered significant balances, the disclosures required under IFRS 2 have not been made. Note 4.16 | Income tax The income tax is recognized in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or in equity depending on the items from which it originates. The Company determines the income tax payable by applying the effective 35 By means of Law No. 27,630, a change was introduced in the corporate income tax rate, applicable to fiscal years beginning from January 1, 2021. The tax will be determined according to the following scale: Schedule of tax determination Accumulated net taxable income Amount to be paid $ Plus % On the amount exceeding $ From more than $ To $ $ 0 $ 5 $ 0 25 $ 0 $ 5 $ 50 $ 1.25 30 $ 5 $ 50 onwards $ 14.75 35 $ 50 The amounts of the detailed scale will be adjusted annually, beginning January 1, 2022, taking into consideration the annual variation of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) provided by the National Institute of Statistics and Census (INDEC). Additionally, the deferred tax is recognized, in accordance with the liability method, on the temporary differences arising between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the Statement of Financial Position. However, no deferred tax liability is recognized if such difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill, or from the initial recognition of an asset or liability other than in a business combination, which at the time of the transaction affected neither the accounting nor the taxable profit. The deferred tax is determined using the effective rate resulting from the application of the tax scale in effect at the closing date of the financial statements and which is expected to apply when the deferred tax assets are realized or the deferred tax liabilities are settled. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset recognized amounts and when deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income tax levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are stated at their undiscounted nominal value. Moreover, in accordance with the provisions of Law No. 27,430, the Company has applied the tax inflation adjustment set forth in Title VI of the Income Tax Law, effective for fiscal years beginning as from January 1, 2018, albeit with a limited scope of application for certain accounts. The tax inflation adjustment for the first, second and third fiscal year was applicable as from its effective date in 2018, if the CPI cumulative variation, calculated from the beginning to the end of each year, exceeded fifty-five percent (55%), thirty percent (30%) and fifteen percent (15%) for fiscal years 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively. Although as of December 31, 2018, the CPI cumulative variation did not exceed the 55% threshold for the application of the tax inflation adjustment in that first fiscal year, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the CPI cumulative variations for the 12 months of each year had amounted to 36.13% and 53.77%, respectively, which exceeded the 15% and 30% thresholds fixed for the third and second transition years of the tax inflation adjustment, and, therefore, the Company recognized the effect of the tax inflation adjustment in the calculation of the current and deferred income tax provision in those fiscal years. As from fiscal years ended in December 2021, fourth fiscal year since the implementation of the tax inflation adjustment, the threshold for its application is that the cumulative variation of the aforementioned index for the thirty-six months prior to the closing date of the relevant fiscal year be greater than 100%. Furthermore, unlike fiscal years 2019 and 2020, for fiscal year 2021, such adjustment was no longer to be applied with deferrals (over six fiscal years) but rather computed in full in the tax balance sheet for that period. Furthermore, in accordance with the provisions of the 2023 Budget Law, for fiscal year 2022 the deferral in thirds of the tax inflation adjustment is to be retroactively applied; therefore, the Company recognized the effects in the calculation of the current and deferred income tax provision.

Financial risk management | Note 5 | Financial risk management Nota 5.1 | Financial risk factors The Company’s activities and the market in which it operates expose the Company to a number of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, cash flows interest rate risk, fair value interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The management of the financial risk is part of the Company’s overall policies, which focus on the unpredictability of the financial markets and seek to minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance. Financial risks are the risks derived from the financial instruments to which the Company is exposed during or at the end of each year. The Company uses derivative instruments to hedge exposure to certain risks whenever it deems appropriate in accordance with its internal risk management policy. Risk management is controlled by the Finance and Control Department, which identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks. Risk management policies and systems are periodically reviewed so that they can reflect the changes in the market’s conditions and the Company’s activities. This section includes a description of the main risks and uncertainties that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s strategy, performance, results of operations and financial position. a. Market risks i. Currency risk Currency risk is the risk of fluctuation in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s exposure to currency risk relates to the collection of its revenue in pesos, in conformity with regulated electricity rates that are not indexed in relation to the US dollar, whereas a significant portion of its existing financial debt is denominated in US dollars. Therefore, the Company is exposed to the risk of a loss resulting from a devaluation of the peso. The Company may hedge its currency risk by trying to enter into currency futures. At the date of issuance of these financial statements, the Company has not hedged its exposure to the US dollar. If the Company continued to be unable to effectively hedge all or a significant part of its exposure to currency risk, any devaluation of the peso could significantly increase its debt service burden, which, in turn, could have a substantial adverse effect on its financial and cash position (including its ability to repay its Corporate Notes) and the results of its operations. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s balances in foreign currency are as follow: Schedule of balances in foreign currency Currency Amount in foreign currency Exchange rate (1) Total Total ASSETS CURRENT ASSETS Other receivables USD 19.3 176.960 3,415 201 Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss USD 81.7 176.960 14,458 9,203 Cash and cash equivalents USD 0.2 176.960 35 2,402 TOTAL CURRENT ASSETS 17,908 11,806 TOTAL ASSETS 17,908 11,806 LIABILITIES NON-CURRENT LIABILITIES Borrowings USD 82.1 177.160 14,537 — TOTAL NON-CURRENT LIABILITIES 14,537 — CURRENT LIABILITIES Trade payables USD 17.7 177.160 3,136 2,402 EUR 0.2 189.259 38 — Borrowings USD 1.0 177.160 184 19,989 Other payables USD 1.3 177.160 228 2,001 TOTAL CURRENT LIABILITIES 3,586 24,392 TOTAL LIABILITIES 18,123 24,392 (1) The exchange rates used are the BNA exchange rates in effect as of December 31, 2022 for US Dollars (USD) and Euros (EUR). The table below shows the Company’s exposure to currency risk resulting from the financial assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency. Schedule of Exposure to currency risk 12.31.22 12.31.21 Net position US dollar (177 ) (12,586 ) Euro (38 ) — Total (215 ) (12,586 ) The Company estimates that a 10% devaluation of the Argentine peso with respect to each foreign currency, with all other variables held constant, would give rise to the following decrease in the loss for the year: Schedule of decrease in results of operation 12.31.22 12.31.21 Net position US dollar (18 ) (1,259 ) Euro (4 ) — Decrease in the results of operations for the year (22 ) (1,259 ) ii. Price risk The Company’s investments in listed equity instruments are susceptible to market price risk arising from the uncertainties concerning the future value of these instruments. Due to the low significance of the investments in equity instruments in relation to the net asset/liability position, the Company is not significantly exposed to the referred to instruments price risk. Furthermore, the Company is not exposed to commodity price risk. iii. Interest rate risk It is the risk of fluctuation in the fair value or cash flows of an instrument due to changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is related mainly to the long-term debt obligations. Indebtedness at floating rates exposes the Company to interest rate risk on its cash flows. Indebtedness at fixed rates exposes the Company to interest rate risk on the fair value of its liabilities. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, 100% of the loans were obtained at fixed interest rates. The Company’s policy is to keep the largest percentage of its indebtedness in instruments that accrue interest at fixed rates. The Company analyzes its exposure to interest rate risk in a dynamic manner. Several scenarios are simulated taking into account the positions with respect to refinancing, renewal of current positions, alternative financing and hedging. Based on these scenarios, the Company calculates the impact on profit or loss of a specific change in interest rates. In each simulation, the same interest rate fluctuation is used for all the currencies. Scenarios are only simulated for liabilities that represent the most relevant interest-bearing positions. b. Credit risk It is the risk of a financial loss as a consequence of a counterparty’s failure to comply with the obligations assumed in a financial instrument or commercial contract. The Company’s exposure to credit risk results from its operating (particularly from its commercial receivables) and financial activities, including deposits in financial entities and other instruments. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and financial entities and derivative financial instruments, as well as from credit exposure to customers, including outstanding balances of accounts receivable and committed transactions. With regard to banks and financial entities, only those with high credit quality are accepted. With regard to debtors, if there are no independent credit risk ratings, the Finance Department evaluates the debtors’ credit quality, past experience and other factors. Individual credit limits are set in accordance with the limits set by the Company’s CEO, on the basis of the internal or external ratings approved by the Finance and Control Department. The Company has different procedures in place to reduce energy losses and allow for the collection of the balances owed by its customers. The Operations and Customer Service Departments periodically monitor compliance with the above-mentioned procedures. One of the significant items of delinquent balances is that related to the receivable amounts with Municipalities, in respect of which the Company applies different offsetting mechanisms against municipal taxes it collects in the name and to the order of those government bodies and debt refinancing plans, with the aim of reducing its exposure. At each fiscal year-end, the Company analyzes whether the recording of an impairment is necessary. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, delinquent trade receivables totaled approximately $ 6,562 4,235 20,277 4,634 11,700 The inability to collect the amounts receivable in the future could have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and its financial position, which, in turn, could have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to repay loans, including payment of the Corporate Notes. The balances of the bills for electricity consumption of T1 (small-demand), T2 (medium-demand) and T3 (large-demand) customers that remain unpaid seven working days after the bills’ first due dates are considered delinquent trade receivables. Additionally, the amounts included in the Framework Agreement are not considered within delinquent balances of the electricity supplied to low-income areas and shantytowns. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is based on the book value of each financial asset in the financial statements, after deducting the corresponding allowances. c. Liquidity risk The Company monitors the risk of a deficit in cash flows on a periodical basis. The Finance Department supervises the updated projections of the Company’s liquidity requirements in order to ensure that there is enough cash to meet its operating needs, permanently maintaining sufficient margin for undrawn credit lines so that the Company does not fail to comply with the indebtedness limits or covenants, if applicable, of any line of credit. Such projections give consideration to the Company’s debt financing plans, compliance with covenants, with internal balance sheet financial ratios objectives and, if applicable, with external regulations and legal requirements, such as, restrictions on the use of foreign currency. Cash surpluses held by the Company and the balances in excess of the amounts required to manage working capital are invested in money market funds and/or time deposits that accrue interest, currency deposits and securities, choosing instruments with appropriate maturities or sufficient liquidity to provide sufficient margin as determined in the aforementioned projections. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s current financial assets at fair value amount to $ 28,701 30,097 The table below includes an analysis of the Company’s non-derivative financial liabilities, which have been classified into maturity groupings based on the remaining period between the closing date of the fiscal year and the contractual maturity date. Derivative financial liabilities are included in the analysis if their contractual maturities are essential for an understanding of the timing of the cash flows. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Schedule of analysis of non-derivative financial liabilities No deadline Less than 3 months From 3 months to 1 year From 1 to 2 years From 2 to 5 years Total As of December 31, 2022 Trade payables and other liabilities 120,470 67,730 9,468 409 23,705 221,782 Borrowings — — 184 14,537 — 14,721 Total 120,470 67,730 9,652 14,946 23,705 236,503 As of December 31, 2021 Trade payables and other liabilities 103,096 52,522 14,009 606 24,386 194,619 Borrowings — — 19,989 — — 19,989 Total 103,096 52,522 33,998 606 24,386 214,608 Nota 5.2 | Concentration risk factors a. Related to customers The Company’s receivables derive primarily from the sale of electricity. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of sales for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. b. Related to employees who are union members As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s employees are members of unions, Sindicato de Luz y Fuerza de Capital Federal (Electric Light and Power Labor Union of the Federal Capital) and Asociación del Personal Superior de Empresas de Energía (Association of Supervisory Personnel of Energy Companies). These employees labor cost depends on negotiations between the Company and the unions; a sensitive change in employment conditions generates a significant impact on the Company’s labor costs. The collective bargaining agreements entered into in March 2020 were subsequently revised in September and November 2022 and in February 2023, as a consequence of the inflationary context in which the Argentine economy is immersed. At the date of issuance of the financial statements, there is no certainty concerning future collective bargaining agreements. Nota 5.3 | Capital risk management The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue operating as a going concern and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. Consistent with others in the industry, the Company monitors its capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total liabilities (current and non-current) less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as equity as shown in the Statement of Financial Position plus net debt. The gearing ratios at December 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follow: Schedule of gearing ratios 12.31.22 12.31.21 Total liabilities 354,465 319,718 Less: Cash and cash equivalents and Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (30,331 ) (36,276 ) Net debt 324,134 283,442 Total Equity 125,666 143,550 Total capital attributable to owners 449,800 426,992 Gearing ratio 72.06 % 66.38 % Nota 5.4 | Regulatory risk factors Pursuant to caption C of Section 37 of the Concession Agreement, the Grantor of the Concession may, without prejudice to other rights to which the Grantor is entitled thereunder, foreclose on the collateral granted by the Company when the cumulative value of the penalties imposed to the Company in the previous one-year period exceeds 20% of its annual billing, net of taxes and fees. The Company’s Management evaluates the development of this indicator on an annual basis. At the date of issuance of these financial statements, there are no events of non-compliance by the Company that could lead to that situation. Nota 5.5 | Fair value estimate The Company classifies the measurements of financial instruments at fair value using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the relevance of the variables used to carry out such measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 The table below shows the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of December 31, 2022 and 2021: Schedule of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value LEVEL 1 At December 31, 2022 Assets Other receivables Transferred assets and in custody 4,675 Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: Negotiable instruments 13,716 Mutual funds 14,985 Cash and cash equivalents: Mutual funds 763 Total assets 34,139 At December 31, 2021 Assets Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: Negotiable instruments 17,281 Mutual funds 12,816 Cash and cash equivalents Mutual funds 2,627 Total assets 32,724 The value of the financial instruments traded in active markets is based on the quoted market prices at the Statement of Financial Position date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are regularly available from a stock exchange, broker, sector-specific institution or regulatory agency, and those prices represent current and regularly occurring market transactions on an arms’ length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1. The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in active markets is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data, where it is available, and rely as little as possible on specific estimates of the Company. If all the significant variables to establish the fair value of a financial instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2. There are no financial instruments that are to be included in level 2. If one or more of the significant variables used to determine fair value are not observable in the market, the financial instrument is included in level 3. There are no financial instruments that are to be included in level 3. |

Critical accounting estimates and judgments | Note 6 | Critical accounting estimates and judgments The preparation of the financial statements requires the Company’s Management to make estimates and assessments concerning the future, exercise critical judgments and make assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses. These estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based upon past experience and other factors that are reasonable under the existing circumstances. Future actual results may differ from the estimates and assessments made at the date of preparation of these financial statements. The estimates that have a significant risk of causing adjustments to the amounts of assets and liabilities during the next fiscal year are detailed below: a. Impairment of financial assets The allowance for the impairment of accounts receivable is assessed based on the delinquent balance, which comprises all such debt arising from the bills for electricity consumption of T1 (small-demand), T2 (medium-demand), and T3 (large-demand) customers that remain unpaid seven working days after their first due dates. The Company’s Management records an allowance by applying to the delinquent balances of each customer category an uncollectibility rate that is determined according to each customer category, based on the historical comparison of collections made. Additionally, and faced with temporary and/or exceptional situations, the Company’s Management may redefine the amount of the allowance, specifying and supporting the criteria used in all the cases. The Company has performed a review of the financial assets it currently measures and classifies at fair value through profit or loss or at amortized cost and has concluded that they meet the conditions to maintain their classification; consequently, the initial adoption affected neither the classification nor the measurement of the Company’s financial assets. b. Revenue recognition Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis upon delivery to customers, which includes the estimated amount of unbilled distribution of electricity at the end of each year. The accounting policy for the recognition of estimated revenue is considered critical because it depends on the amount of electricity effectively delivered to customers, which is valued on the basis of applicable electricity rates. Unbilled revenue is classified as current trade receivables. c. Impairment of long-lived assets The Company analyzes the recoverability of its long-lived assets on a periodical basis or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the recoverable amount of the long-lived assets, which is measured as the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell at the end of the year, may be impaired. Due to the new events that occurred in the fiscal year, mainly those mentioned in Notes 1, 2.b. and 2.c., the projections made by the Company concerning the recoverability of its property, plant and equipment have been updated. The value in use is determined on the basis of projected and discounted cash flows, using discount rates that reflect the time value of money and the specific risks of the assets under consideration. Cash flows are prepared based on estimates concerning the future performance of certain variables that are sensitive to the determination of the recoverable amount, among which the following can be noted: (i) nature, timing, and modality of the electricity rate increases; (ii) demand for electricity projections; (iii) development of the costs to be incurred; (iv) investment needs in line with the service quality levels required by the regulatory authority, and (v) macroeconomic variables, such as growth rates, inflation rates and foreign currency exchange rates, among others. The other variables have low impact on the calculation and have been estimated by the Company using the best available information. The Company has made its projections under the assumption that in the next few years it will obtain the delayed electricity rates adjustments to which it is entitled in accordance with the applicable regulations, using as a basis a Discount rate (WACC) in dollars of 14.62 However, the Company is not in a position to ensure that the future performance of the assumptions used for making its projections will be in line with that which the control authorities will define, therefore, they could differ significantly from the estimates and assessments made at the date of preparation of these financial statements. In order to consider the estimation risk included in the projections of the aforementioned variables, the Company has taken into consideration three alternative probability-weighted scenarios, which are detailed below: a) Scenario No. 1: considers adjustments in the VAD in accordance with ENRE Resolution No. 241/2023 (Note 2.b.) in the months of April and June 2023, and an additional adjustment in the month of October on account of the CPD increases set by the RTI that had not been applied as of that date. As from February 2024, electricity 25 b) Scenario No. 2: considers adjustments in the VAD in accordance with ENRE Resolution No. 241/2023 (Note 2.b.) in the months of April and June 2023, and an additional adjustment (lower than that of Scenario No.1) in the month of October on account of the CPD increases set by the RTI that had not been applied as of that date. As from February 2024, electricity . 60 c) Scenario No. 3: considers adjustments in the VAD in accordance with ENRE Resolution No. 241/2023 (Note 2.b.) in the months of April and June 2023. In February 2024, the CPD for 2023 is transferred to the electricity rate, in a percentage lower than that set by the RTI. As from August 2024, in a percentage lower than that set by the RTI 15 In all the cases, payments under the payment plan resulting from the Framework Agreement (Note 2.c) for the debt incurred with CAMMESA until August 2022 are made. A similar plan (with no reduction in principal or interest) is applied to the debt with CAMMESA of the September 2022 - February 2023 period. As from March 2023, 100% of the invoice is paid. The Company has assigned to these three scenarios the previously detailed probability of occurrence percentages based mainly on experience and giving consideration to the current economic and financial situation. After having carried out the analysis of recoverability of long-lived assets, as of the date of these financial statements, the Company has recorded no additional impairments of property, plant and equipment. Sensitivity analysis: The main factors that could result in impairment charges or recoveries in future periods are: i) a distortion in the nature, timing, and modality of the electricity rate increases; ii) a distortion in the nature, timing, and modality of the settlement of the debt with CAMMESA. These factors have been taken into account in the aforementioned weight of scenarios. Due to the uncertainty inherent in these assumptions, the Company estimates that any sensitivity analysis that considers changes in any of them taken individually could lead to significant changes in the determination of the recoverable value. d. Current and deferred income tax A degree of judgment is required to determine the income tax provision inasmuch as the Company’s Management has to evaluate, on an ongoing basis, the positions taken in tax returns in respect of situations in which the applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and, whenever necessary, make provisions based on the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities. When the final tax outcome of these matters differs from the amounts initially recognized, such differences will impact both the income tax and the deferred tax provisions in the fiscal year in which such determination is made. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company recognizes liabilities for eventual tax claims based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due in the future. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced according to the probability that a sufficient taxable base will be available to allow for the total or partial recovery of these assets. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. The realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which these temporary differences become deductible. To make this assessment, the Company’s Management takes into consideration the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, the projected future taxable income, the prevailing rates to be applied in each period, and tax planning strategies. e. Benefit plans The liability recognized by the Company is the best estimate of the present value of the cash flows representing the benefit plan obligation at the closing date of the year together with the adjustments for past service costs and actuarial losses. Cash flows are discounted using a rate that contemplates actuarial assumptions about demographic and financial conditions that affect the determination of benefit plans. Such estimate is based on actuarial calculations made by independent professionals in accordance with the projected unit credit method. f. ENRE penalties and discounts The Company considers its applicable accounting policy for the recognition of ENRE penalties and discounts critical because it depends on penalizable events that are valued on the basis of the Management´s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the date of these financial statements. The balances of ENRE penalties and discounts are adjusted in accordance with the regulatory framework applicable thereto and have been estimated based on that which has been described in Note 2.f. g. Contingencies and provisions for lawsuits The Company is a party to several complaints, lawsuits and other legal proceedings, including customer claims, in which a third party is seeking payment for alleged damages, reimbursement for losses or compensation. The Company’s potential liability with respect to such claims, lawsuits and legal proceedings cannot be accurately estimated. The Company’s Management, with the assistance of its legal advisors, periodically analyzes the status of each significant matter and evaluates the Company’s potential financial exposure. If the loss deriving from a complaint or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, a provision is recorded. Provisions for contingent losses represent a reasonable estimate of the losses that will be incurred, based on the information available to Management at the date of the financial statements preparation, taking into account the Company’s litigation and settlement strategies. These estimates are mainly made by Management. However, if the Management’s estimates proved wrong, the current provisions could be inadequate and result in a charge to profits that could have a material effect on the Statements of Financial Position, Comprehensive Income (Loss), Changes in Equity and Cash Flows. |

Contingencies and lawsuits | Note 8 | Contingencies and lawsuits The Company has contingent liabilities and is a party to lawsuits that arise from the ordinary course of business. The Company’s Management estimates that the outcome of the current contingencies and lawsuits will not result in amounts that either exceed those of the recorded provisions or could be significant with respect to the Company’s financial position or the results of its operations. Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that there exist contingent obligations and labor, civil and commercial complaints filed against the Company related to legal actions for individual non-significant amounts, which as of December 31, 2022 total $ 7,054 We detail below the nature of the significant judicial processes in relation to which, as of December 31, 2022, the Company believes, based on the opinion of its in-house and external legal advisors, there exist grounds for them not to be deemed probable. - Federal Administration of Public Revenues (“AFIP”) – Difference in contribution rate to the Single Social Security System (“SUSS”) (executive order 814/2001) for the 12/2011- 11/2019 fiscal periods On July 6, 2021, the Company filed an appeal to the Federal Social Security Court of Appeals against AFIP Resolution No. 1740/2021 that dismissed the presentation made by edenor Additionally, on April 8, 2021, the Company was notified by the AFIP of a new resolution pursuant to which a debt had been assessed for the same concept, relating to the July 2019-November 2019 period. The resolution was challenged by the Company on September 23, 2021. This new notification follows the one received on July 12, 2018 relating to the December 2011-December 2016 period, and has been appealed to the Federal Social Security Court of Appeals. The Company’s Management believes that the application of the 17% rate is correct. In this regard, in accordance with the analysis performed, it is reasonable that “minority government-owned corporations ( sociedades anónimas con simple participación estatal sociedades anónimas The Company filed appeals to the Federal Social Security Court of Appeals, on July 6, 2021 and September 13, 2021, against the first two resolutions, relating to the 01/2017-06/2019 and 11/2011-12/2016 periods, respectively, as the administrative remedies available in relation thereto have been exhausted. Finally, on August 23, 2022 the Company was notified by the AFIP of the resolution whereby the challenge filed is rejected and the adjustment assessed under Verification Process Order No. 1,893,337 for the periods of July 2019 through November 2019 is confirmed. This act exhausted all the available administrative remedies. In view of the disagreement over the adjustment, on October 4, 2022 the Company filed an Appeal to the Federal Social Security Court of Appeals. In the Company’s opinion, strong and sufficient arguments exist to make its position prevail at the judicial stage. Consequently, as of December 31, 2022 no liabilities whatsoever have been recorded by the Company for this matter. - National Regulatory Authority for the Distribution of Electricity, Proceeding for the Determination of a Claim” (case file No. 16/2020) On May 4, 2021, the Company was served notice of a complaint filed by the ENRE in connection with edenor At the date of issuance of these financial statements, the Company has answered the complaint, with the case being currently in process. The Company believes that it has sufficient authority under the Agreement on the Renegotiation of the Concession Agreement to support the payment made under such conditions and considers it to be in compliance with the law, to have an extinguishing effect and to have implied no damage to the users. In this regard, the Company believes that there exist sufficient and solid arguments to make its position prevail at the judicial stage; therefore, no liabilities whatsoever for this concept have been recorded as of December 31, 2022. - AFIP’s Income Tax claim, Undocumented outflows and VAT On July 2, 2020, and at the request of the Court hearing a criminal case, the AFIP initiated a sua sponte usinas mixtas In this regard, on May 17, 2021 the AFIP notified the Company of three resolutions, whereby the tax authorities resolved: i) To object to the Company’s transactions with two suppliers, and thereby to the related tax credit for the January 2017-December 2018 monthly tax periods; ii) That the Company would have deducted from its tax balance sheets for the 2017 and 2018 tax periods unfounded expenses and/or costs related to the transactions presumably carried out with the suppliers in question; iii) To object to the transactions with both suppliers and the destination of the funds earmarked for the settlement thereof; iv) To initiate investigative proceedings for the 2017 and 2018 periods in respect of: a. Income tax; b. Value Added Tax; c. Undocumented outflows. On July 6, 2021, the Company answered the notice, with respect to the income tax, undocumented outflows and value added tax concepts for the 2017 and 2018 tax periods, answering to the charges and filing a motion for nullity on the AFIP’s tax claim, stating the legal foundations and submitting the relevant documentary evidence. Additionally, in response to the Tax Authorities’ subsequent orders aimed at obtaining further evidence, the duly submitted information was supplemented with more details, in the two presentations dated September 23 and October 14, 2021. On November 17, 2021, the Company was served notice of three resolutions from the AFIP with the respective sua sponte The Company believes that the assessments issued by the AFIP are groundless; therefore, on December 10, 2021 an Appeal was filed to the Federal Tax Court against the three rulings. This appeal, which at the date of issuance of these financial statements is under the period for producing evidence, stays the execution of payment. On February 18, 2022, the Company was served notice of the initiation of a new verification process in respect of the same suppliers in question, with a request for additional information on transactions performed from January 2019 until October 2021. It was answered within the legal timeframe and in proper form on March 8, 2022. The verification process is currently open. On December 26, 2022, the Company was served notice of the court of original jurisdiction’s decision whereby the criminal charges against all the former executive officers of edenor In the Company’s opinion, strong and sufficient arguments exist to make its position prevail at the subsequent judicial stages of the process.

Revenue From Sales And Energy Purchases | |
Revenue from sales and energy purchases | Note 9 | Revenue from sales and energy purchases We provide below a brief description of the main services provided by the Company: Sales of electricity Schedule of revenue description Small demand segment: Residential use and public lighting (T1) Relates to the highest demand average recorded over 15 consecutive minutes that is less than 10 kilowatts. In turn, this segment is subdivided into different residential categories based on consumption. This segment also includes a category for public lighting. Users are categorized by the Company according to their consumption. Medium demand segment: Commercial and industrial customers (T2) Relates to the highest demand average recorded over 15 consecutive minutes that is equal to or greater than 10 Kilowatts but less than 50 Kilowatts. The Company agrees with the user the supply capacity. Large demand segment (T3) Relates to the highest demand average recorded over 15 consecutive minutes that is greater than 50 Kilowatts. In turn, this segment is subdivided into categories according to the supply voltage -low, medium or high-, from voltages of up to 1 Kilovolt to voltages greater than 66 Kilovolts. Other: (Shantytowns/ Wheeling system) Revenue is recognized to the extent that a renewal of the Framework Agreement has been formalized for the period in which the service was rendered. In the case of the service related to the Wheeling system, revenue is recognized when the Company allows third parties (generators and large users) to access to the available transmission capacity within its distribution system upon payment of a wheeling fee. Other services Right of use of poles Revenue is recognized to the extent that the rental value of the right of use of the poles used by the Company’s electricity network has been agreed upon for the benefit of third parties. Connection and reconnection charges Relate to revenue accrued for the carrying out of the electricity supply connection of new customers or the reconnection of already existing users. Energy purchases Energy purchase The Company bills its users the cost of its purchases of energy, which includes charges for purchases of energy and power. The Company purchases electric power at seasonal prices approved by the SE. The price of the Company’s electric power represents transmission costs and other regulatory charges. Energy losses Energy losses are equivalent to the difference between energy purchased and energy sold. These losses can be classified into technical and non-technical losses. Technical losses represent the energy lost during transmission and distribution within the network as a consequence of the natural heating of the conductors and transformers that carry electricity from power generation plants to users. Non-technical losses represent the remainder of the Company’s energy losses and are mainly due to the illegal use of its services or the theft of energy. Energy losses require that the Company purchase additional energy in order to meet the demand and its Concession Agreement allows it to recover from its users the cost of these purchases up to a loss factor specified in its concession for each rate category. The current loss factor recognized in the electricity rate by virtue of its concession amounts to approximately 9.1%.

New accounting standards, amendments and interpretations issued by the IASB that are not yet effective and have not been early adopted by the Company - IFRS 17 “Insurance contracts”, issued in May 2017 and amended in June 2020 and December 2021. It replaces IFRS 4, introduced as an interim standard in 2004, which allowed entities to account for insurance contracts using their local accounting requirements, resulting in multiple application approaches. IFRS 17 sets the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of insurance contracts, and applies to annual periods beginning as from January 1, 2023, allowing for its early adoption for entities already applying IFRS 9 and IFRS 15.

The amendments apply to annual periods beginning as from January 1, 2023. - IFRS 16 “Leases”, amended in September 2022: It clarifies how a seller-lessee subsequently measures sale and leaseback transactions that satisfy the requirements in IFRS 15 to be accounted for as a sale. The amendments apply to annual periods beginning as from January 1, 2024. |
Property, plant and equipment | Note 4.2 | Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment, except for works in progress, is valued at acquisition cost restated to reflect the effects of inflation, net of accumulated depreciation and recognized impairment losses. Depreciation has been calculated by applying the straight-line method over the remaining useful life of the assets, which was determined on the basis of engineering studies. Subsequent costs (major maintenance and reconstruction costs) are either included in the value of the assets or recognized as a separate asset, only if it is probable that the future benefits associated with the assets will flow to the Company, being it possible as well that the costs of the assets may be measured reliably and the investment will improve the condition of the asset beyond its original state. The other maintenance and repair expenses are recognized in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred. In accordance with the Concession Agreement, the Company may not pledge the assets used in the provision of the public service nor grant any other security interest thereon in favor of third parties, without prejudice to the Company’s right to freely dispose of those assets which in the future may become inadequate or unnecessary for such purpose. This prohibition does not apply in the case of security interests granted over an asset at the time of its acquisition and/or construction as collateral for payment of the purchase and/or installation price. The residual value and the remaining useful lives of the assets are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each fiscal year (reporting period). Land is not depreciated Facilities in service: between 30 and 50 years Furniture, tools and equipment: between 5 and 20 years Construction in process is valued based on the degree of completion and is recorded at cost restated to reflect the effects of inflation less any impairment loss, if applicable. Cost includes expenses attributable to the construction, when they are part of the cost incurred for the purposes of acquisition, construction or production of property, plant and equipment that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use. These assets begin to be depreciated when they are in economic conditions of use. Gains and losses on the sale of property, plant and equipment are calculated by comparing the price collected with the carrying amount of the asset, and are recognized within Other operating expense or Other operating income in the Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The Company considers three alternative probability-weighted scenarios and analyzes the recoverability of its long-lived assets as described in Critical accounting estimates and judgments. The valuation of property, plant and equipment, taken as a whole, does not exceed its recoverable value, which is measured as the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell at the end of the year (Note 6.c). |
Interests in joint ventures | Note 4.3 | Interests in joint ventures The main conceptual definitions are as follow: i. A joint arrangement takes place among two or more parties when they have joint control: joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. ii. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. Such parties are called joint venturers. iii. A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. These parties are called joint operators. The Company accounts for its investment in joint ventures in accordance with the equity method. Under this method, the interest is initially recognized at cost and subsequently adjusted by recognizing the Company’s share in the profit or loss obtained by the joint venture, after acquisition date. The Company recognizes in profit or loss its share of the joint venture’s profit or loss and in other comprehensive income its share of the joint venture’s other comprehensive income. When the Company carries out transactions in the joint ventures, the unrealized gains and losses are eliminated in accordance with the percentage interest held by the Company in the jointly controlled entity. The joint ventures’ accounting policies have been modified and adapted, if applicable, to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company. Furthermore, taking into account that the interests in joint ventures are not regarded as significant balances, the disclosures required under IFRS 12 have not been made. |
Revenue recognition | Note 4.4 | Revenue recognition a. Revenue from sales Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration collected or to be collected, taking into account the estimated amount of any discount, thus determining the net amounts. Revenue from the electricity supplied by the Company to low-income areas and shantytowns is recognized to the extent that a renewal of the Framework Agreement is formalized for the period in which the service was rendered. At the date of issuance of these financial statements, the Company is negotiating the extensions of the Framework Agreement with the Federal and the Provincial Governments, as the case may be (Note 2.d). Revenue from operations is recognized on an accrual basis and derives mainly from electricity distribution. Such revenue includes electricity supplied, whether billed or unbilled, at the end of each year, which has been valued on the basis of applicable electricity rates. The Company also recognizes revenue from other concepts included in distribution services, such as new connections, reconnections, rights of use on poles, transmission of electricity to other distribution companies, inasmuch as the services are provided on the basis of the price established in each contract. Revenue is not adjusted for the effect of the financing components as sales’ payments are not deferred over time, which is consistent with market practice. The aforementioned revenue from operations was recognized when all of the following conditions were met: 1. The Entity transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards; 2. The amount of revenue was measured reliably; 3. It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Entity; 4. The costs incurred or to be incurred, in respect of the transaction, were measured reliably. b. Interest income Interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate method. Interest income is recorded in the accounting on a time basis by reference to the principal amount outstanding and the applicable effective rate. Interest income is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Entity and the amount of the transaction can be measured reliably. |
Effects of the changes in foreign currency exchange rates | Note 4.5 | Effects of the changes in foreign currency exchange rates a. Functional and presentation currency The information included in the financial statements is measured using the Company’s functional currency, which is the currency of the main economic environment in which the Entity operates. The financial statements are measured in pesos (legal currency in Argentina), restated to reflect the effects of inflation as indicated in Note 3, which is also the presentation currency. b. Transactions and balances Foreign currency denominated transactions and balances are translated into the functional and presentation currency using the rates of exchange prevailing at the date of the transactions or revaluation, respectively. The gains and losses generated by foreign currency exchange differences resulting from each transaction and from the translation of monetary items valued in foreign currency at the end of the year are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The foreign currency exchange rates used are the buying and selling rate for monetary assets and liabilities, respectively, and the specific exchange rate for foreign currency denominated transactions. |
Trade and other receivables | Note 4.6 | Trade and other receivables a. Trade receivables The receivables arising from services billed to customers but not collected as well as those arising from services rendered but unbilled at the closing date of each year are recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The receivables from electricity supplied to low-income areas and shantytowns are recognized, along with revenue, when the Framework Agreement has been renewed for the period in which the service was provided and the Federal or the Provincial Government assumes responsibility for the payment of consumption. b. Other receivables Other receivables are initially recognized at fair value (generally the original billing/settlement amount) and subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method, and when significant, adjusted by the time value of money. The Company records impairment allowances when there is objective evidence that it will not be able to collect all the amounts owed to it in accordance with the original terms of the receivables. Assigned and held-in-custody assets are measured in accordance with Note 4.8. The subsidies received from the Government are recognized when the defined works plans are carried out. |
Inventories | Note 4.7 | Inventories The Company’s inventories are materials and supplies to be consumed in the service rendering process. Inventories are valued at acquisition cost restated to reflect the effects of inflation, less recognized impairment losses. They are valued based on the purchase price, import duties (if applicable), and other taxes (that are not subsequently recovered), and other costs directly attributable to the acquisition of those assets. Cost is determined by applying the weighted average price (WAP) method. The Company has classified inventories into current and non-current depending on the period of time in which they are expected to be used, whether for maintenance or capital expenditures. The non-current portion of inventories is disclosed in the “Property, plant and equipment” account. The valuation of inventories, taken as a whole, does not exceed their recoverable value at the end of each fiscal year. |
Financial assets | Note 4.8 | Financial assets Note 4.8.1 | Classification The Company classifies financial assets into the following categories: those measured at amortized cost and those subsequently measured at fair value. This classification depends on whether the financial asset is an investment in a debt or an equity instrument. In order for a financial asset to be measured at amortized cost, the two conditions described in the following paragraph must be met. All other financial assets are measured at fair value. IFRS 9 requires that all investments in equity instruments be measured at fair value. a. Financial assets at amortized cost Financial assets are measured at amortized cost if the following conditions are met: i. The objective of the Company’s business model is to hold the assets to collect the contractual cash flows; and ii. The contractual terms give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on principal. b. Financial assets at fair value If any of the above-detailed conditions is not met, financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss. All investments in equity instruments are measured at fair value. For those investments that are not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect at the time of their initial recognition to present the changes in fair value in other comprehensive income. The Company’s decision was to recognize the changes in fair value in profit or loss. Note 4.8.2 | Recognition and measurement The regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized on the trade date, i.e. the date on which the Company agrees to acquire or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive the cash flows from the investments have expired or been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the assets. Financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of those financial assets. The gains or losses generated by investments in debt instruments that are subsequently measured at fair value and are not part of a hedging transaction are recognized in profit or loss. Those generated by investments in debt instruments that are subsequently measured at amortized cost and are not part of a hedging transaction are recognized in profit or loss when the financial asset is derecognized or impaired and by means of the amortization process using the effective interest rate method. The Company subsequently measures all the investments in equity instruments at fair value. When it elects to present the changes in fair value in other comprehensive income, such changes cannot be reclassified to profit or loss. Dividends arising from these investments are recognized in profit or loss to the extent that they represent a return on the investment. The Company reclassifies financial assets if and only if its business model to manage financial assets is changed. The expected losses, in accordance with calculated coefficients, are detailed in Note 6.a). Note 4.8.3 | Impairment of financial assets At the end of each annual reporting period, the Company assesses whether there is objective evidence that the value of a financial asset or group of financial assets measured at amortized cost is impaired. The value of a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired, and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a “loss event”), and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably measured. Impairment tests may include evidence that the debtors or group of debtors are undergoing significant financial difficulties, have defaulted on interest or principal payments or made them after they had come due, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization, and when observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in payment terms or in the economic conditions that correlate with defaults. In the case of financial assets measured at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The asset’s carrying amount is reduced and the amount of the impairment loss is recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss). While cash, cash equivalents and financial assets measured at amortized cost are also subject to the impairment requirements of IFRS 9, the identified impairment loss is immaterial. Note 4.8.4 | Offsetting of financial instruments Financial assets and liabilities are offset, and the net amount reported in the Statement of Financial Position, when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts, and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. |
Derivative financial instruments | Note 4.9 | Derivative financial instruments Derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which the relevant contract is signed. Subsequent to the initial recognition, they are remeasured at their fair value. The method for recognizing the resulting loss or gain depends on whether the derivative has been designated as a hedging instrument and, if that is the case, on the nature of the item being hedged. As of December 31, 2022, the economic impact of these transactions, which resulted in a loss of $ 173 |
Cash and cash equivalents | Note 4.10 | Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from their acquisition date, with significant low risk of change in value. i. Cash and banks in local currency: at nominal value. ii. Cash and banks in foreign currency: at the exchange rate in effect at the end of the year. iii. Money market funds, which have been valued at the prevailing market price at the end of the year. Those that do not qualify as cash equivalents are disclosed in the Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss account. |
Equity | Note 4.11 | Equity Changes in this account have been accounted for in accordance with the relevant legal or statutory regulations and the decisions adopted by the shareholders’ meetings. a. Share capital Share capital represents issued capital, which is comprised of the contributions committed and/or made by the shareholders, represented by shares, including outstanding shares at nominal value, restated to reflect the effects of inflation as indicated in Note 3. b. Treasury stock The Treasury stock account represents the nominal value of the Company’s own shares acquired by the Company, restated to reflect the effects of inflation as indicated in Note 3. c. Other comprehensive income (loss) Represents recognition, at the end of the year, of the actuarial gain (loss) associated with the Company’s employee benefit plans, restated to reflect the effects of inflation as indicated in Note 3. d. Retained earnings Retained earnings are comprised of profits or accumulated losses with no specific appropriation. When positive, they may be distributed, if so decided by the Shareholders’ Meeting, to the extent that they are not subject to legal restrictions. Retained earnings, where applicable, are comprised of the amounts transferred from other comprehensive income and prior year adjustments due to the application of accounting standards, restated to reflect the effects of inflation as indicated in Note 3. CNV General Resolution No. 593/11 provided that Shareholders in the Meetings at which they should decide upon the approval of financial statements in which the Unappropriated retained earnings account has a positive balance, must adopt an express resolution as to the allocation of such balance, whether to dividend distribution, capitalization, setting up of reserves or a combination of these. The Company Shareholders’ Meetings have complied with the above-mentioned requirement. |
Trade and other payables | Note 4.12 | Trade and other payables a. Trade payables Trade payables are payment obligations with suppliers for the purchase of goods and services in the ordinary course of business. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if payments fall due within one year or in a shorter period of time. Otherwise, they are classified as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. b. Customer deposits Customer deposits are initially recognized at the amount received and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. In accordance with the Concession Agreement, the Company is allowed to receive customer deposits in the following cases: i. When the power supply is requested and the customer is unable to provide evidence of his legal ownership of the premises; ii. When service has been suspended more than once in one-year period; iii. When the power supply is reconnected and the Company is able to verify the illegal use of the service (fraud). iv. When the customer is undergoing liquidated bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings. The Company has decided not to request customer deposits from residential tariff customers. Customer deposits may be paid either in cash or through the customer’s bill and accrue monthly interest at a specific rate of BNA for each customer category. When the conditions for which the Company is allowed to receive customer deposits no longer exist, the customer’s account is credited with the principal amount plus any interest accrued thereon, after deducting, if appropriate, any amount owed by the customer to the Company. c. Customer contributions Refundable d. Other payables The financial liabilities recorded in other payables and the advances for the execution of works, are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost. The recorded liabilities for penalties accrued, whether imposed or not yet issued by the ENRE (Note 2.f), and other provisions are the best estimate of the settlement value of the present obligation in the framework of IAS 37 provisions at the closing date of these financial statements. The balances of ENRE penalties and discounts are updated in accordance with the regulatory framework applicable thereto and on the basis of the Company’s estimate of the outcome of the renegotiation process described in Note 2.f. |
Borrowings | Note 4.13 | Borrowings Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value, less direct costs incurred in the transaction. Subsequently, they are measured at amortized cost; any difference between the funds obtained (net of direct costs incurred in the transaction) and the amount to be paid at maturity is recognized in profit or loss during the term of the borrowings using the effective interest rate method. |
Deferred revenue | Note 4.14 | Deferred revenue Non-refundable customer contributions · Customer connection to the network: revenue is accrued until such connection is completed; · Continuous provision of the electric power supply service: throughout the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the term for the provision of the service. Government grants |
Employee benefits | Note 4.15 | Employee benefits · Benefit plans The Company operates several benefit plans. Usually, benefit plans establish the amount of the benefit an employee will receive at the time of his/her retirement, generally based on one or more factors such as age, years of service and salary. The liability recognized in the Statement of Financial Position in respect of benefit plans is the present value of the benefit plan obligation at the closing date of the year, together with the adjustments for past service costs and actuarial gains or losses. The benefit plan obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries in accordance with the projected unit credit method. The present value of the benefit plan obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using actuarial assumptions about demographic and financial variables that affect the determination of the amount of such benefits. The benefit plans are not funded. The Company’s accounting policy for benefit plans is as follow: a. Service costs are immediately recorded in profit or loss, unless the changes to the benefit plan are conditional on the employees’ remaining in service for a specified period of time (the vesting period). In this case, past service costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. b. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in “Other comprehensive income” in the year in which they arise. · The Company’s Share-based Compensation Plan The Company has share-based compensation plans under which it receives services from some employees in exchange for the Company’s shares. The fair value of the services received is recognized as an operating expense in the “Salaries and social security taxes” line item. The total amount of the referred to expense is determined by reference to the fair value of the shares granted. When the employees provide the services before the shares are granted, the fair value at the grant date is estimated in order to recognize the relevant result. Furthermore, taking into account that share-based payments are not considered significant balances, the disclosures required under IFRS 2 have not been made. |
Income tax | Note 4.16 | Income tax The income tax is recognized in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or in equity depending on the items from which it originates. The Company determines the income tax payable by applying the effective 35 By means of Law No. 27,630, a change was introduced in the corporate income tax rate, applicable to fiscal years beginning from January 1, 2021. The tax will be determined according to the following scale: Schedule of tax determination Accumulated net taxable income Amount to be paid $ Plus % On the amount exceeding $ From more than $ To $ $ 0 $ 5 $ 0 25 $ 0 $ 5 $ 50 $ 1.25 30 $ 5 $ 50 onwards $ 14.75 35 $ 50 The amounts of the detailed scale will be adjusted annually, beginning January 1, 2022, taking into consideration the annual variation of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) provided by the National Institute of Statistics and Census (INDEC). Additionally, the deferred tax is recognized, in accordance with the liability method, on the temporary differences arising between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the Statement of Financial Position. However, no deferred tax liability is recognized if such difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill, or from the initial recognition of an asset or liability other than in a business combination, which at the time of the transaction affected neither the accounting nor the taxable profit. The deferred tax is determined using the effective rate resulting from the application of the tax scale in effect at the closing date of the financial statements and which is expected to apply when the deferred tax assets are realized or the deferred tax liabilities are settled. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset recognized amounts and when deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income tax levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are stated at their undiscounted nominal value. Moreover, in accordance with the provisions of Law No. 27,430, the Company has applied the tax inflation adjustment set forth in Title VI of the Income Tax Law, effective for fiscal years beginning as from January 1, 2018, albeit with a limited scope of application for certain accounts. The tax inflation adjustment for the first, second and third fiscal year was applicable as from its effective date in 2018, if the CPI cumulative variation, calculated from the beginning to the end of each year, exceeded fifty-five percent (55%), thirty percent (30%) and fifteen percent (15%) for fiscal years 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively. Although as of December 31, 2018, the CPI cumulative variation did not exceed the 55% threshold for the application of the tax inflation adjustment in that first fiscal year, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the CPI cumulative variations for the 12 months of each year had amounted to 36.13% and 53.77%, respectively, which exceeded the 15% and 30% thresholds fixed for the third and second transition years of the tax inflation adjustment, and, therefore, the Company recognized the effect of the tax inflation adjustment in the calculation of the current and deferred income tax provision in those fiscal years. As from fiscal years ended in December 2021, fourth fiscal year since the implementation of the tax inflation adjustment, the threshold for its application is that the cumulative variation of the aforementioned index for the thirty-six months prior to the closing date of the relevant fiscal year be greater than 100%. Furthermore, unlike fiscal years 2019 and 2020, for fiscal year 2021, such adjustment was no longer to be applied with deferrals (over six fiscal years) but rather computed in full in the tax balance sheet for that period. Furthermore, in accordance with the provisions of the 2023 Budget Law, for fiscal year 2022 the deferral in thirds of the tax inflation adjustment is to be retroactively applied; therefore, the Company recognized the effects in the calculation of the current and deferred income tax provision. |
Leases | Note 4.17 | Leases A right-of-use asset and a lease liability are recognized for lease contracts from the date on which the leased asset is available for use, at the present value of the payments to be made over the term of the contract, using the discount rate implicit in the lease contract, if it can be determined, or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Subsequent to their initial measurement, leases will be measured at cost less accumulated depreciation, impairment losses, and any adjustment resulting from a new measurement of the lease liability. |
Provisions and contingencies | Note 4.18 | Provisions and contingencies Provisions have been recognized in those cases in which the Company is faced with a present obligation, whether legal or constructive, that has arisen as a result of a past event, whose settlement is expected to result in an outflow of resources, and the amount thereof can be estimated reliably. The amount recognized as provisions is the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting year, taking into account the corresponding risks and uncertainties. When a provision is measured using the estimated cash flow to settle the present obligation, the carrying amount represents the present value of such cash flow. This present value is obtained by applying a pre-tax discount rate that reflects market conditions, the time value of money and the specific risks of the obligation. The provisions included in liabilities have been recorded to face contingent situations that could result in future payment obligations. To estimate the amount of provisions and the likelihood of an outflow of resources, the opinion of the Company’s legal advisors has been taken into account. |
Balances with related parties | Note 4.19 | Balances with related parties Receivables and payables with related parties are recognized at amortized cost in accordance with the terms agreed upon by the parties involved. |
Classification of assets and liabilities into current and non-current | Note 4.20 | Classification of assets and liabilities into current and non-current Assets and liabilities are presented as current and non-current in the Statement of Financial Position. An asset is classified as current when the Company: - expects to realize the asset or intends to sell or consume it in its normal operating cycle; - holds the asset primarily for the purpose of trading; - expects to realize the asset within twelve months after the reporting year; or - the asset is cash or a cash equivalent unless the asset is restricted and cannot be exchanged or used for the settlement of a liability for at least twelve months after the closing of the reporting year. All other assets are classified as non-current. A liability is classified as current when the Company: - expects to settle the liability in its normal operating cycle; - the liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the closing date of the reporting year; or - does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the closing date of the reporting year. All other liabilities are classified as non-current. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current assets or liabilities as appropriate. |

Schedule of revenue description | Schedule of revenue description Small demand segment: Residential use and public lighting (T1) Relates to the highest demand average recorded over 15 consecutive minutes that is less than 10 kilowatts. In turn, this segment is subdivided into different residential categories based on consumption. This segment also includes a category for public lighting. Users are categorized by the Company according to their consumption. Medium demand segment: Commercial and industrial customers (T2) Relates to the highest demand average recorded over 15 consecutive minutes that is equal to or greater than 10 Kilowatts but less than 50 Kilowatts. The Company agrees with the user the supply capacity. Large demand segment (T3) Relates to the highest demand average recorded over 15 consecutive minutes that is greater than 50 Kilowatts. In turn, this segment is subdivided into categories according to the supply voltage -low, medium or high-, from voltages of up to 1 Kilovolt to voltages greater than 66 Kilovolts. Other: (Shantytowns/ Wheeling system) Revenue is recognized to the extent that a renewal of the Framework Agreement has been formalized for the period in which the service was rendered. In the case of the service related to the Wheeling system, revenue is recognized when the Company allows third parties (generators and large users) to access to the available transmission capacity within its distribution system upon payment of a wheeling fee. Other services Right of use of poles Revenue is recognized to the extent that the rental value of the right of use of the poles used by the Company’s electricity network has been agreed upon for the benefit of third parties. Connection and reconnection charges Relate to revenue accrued for the carrying out of the electricity supply connection of new customers or the reconnection of already existing users. Energy purchases Energy purchase The Company bills its users the cost of its purchases of energy, which includes charges for purchases of energy and power. The Company purchases electric power at seasonal prices approved by the SE. The price of the Company’s electric power represents transmission costs and other regulatory charges. Energy losses Energy losses are equivalent to the difference between energy purchased and energy sold. These losses can be classified into technical and non-technical losses. Technical losses represent the energy lost during transmission and distribution within the network as a consequence of the natural heating of the conductors and transformers that carry electricity from power generation plants to users. Non-technical losses represent the remainder of the Company’s energy losses and are mainly due to the illegal use of its services or the theft of energy. Energy losses require that the Company purchase additional energy in order to meet the demand and its Concession Agreement allows it to recover from its users the cost of these purchases up to a loss factor specified in its concession for each rate category. The current loss factor recognized in the electricity rate by virtue of its concession amounts to approximately 9.1%. |

Although as of December 31, 2018, the CPI cumulative variation did not exceed the 55% threshold for the application of the tax inflation adjustment in that first fiscal year, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the CPI cumulative variations for the 12 months of each year had amounted to 36.13% and 53.77%, respectively, which exceeded the 15% and 30% thresholds fixed for the third and second transition years of the tax inflation adjustment, and, therefore, the Company recognized the effect of the tax inflation adjustment in the calculation of the current and deferred income tax provision in those fiscal years. | ||

Energy losses | Energy losses |
Description of the main services provided | Energy losses are equivalent to the difference between energy purchased and energy sold. These losses can be classified into technical and non-technical losses. Technical losses represent the energy lost during transmission and distribution within the network as a consequence of the natural heating of the conductors and transformers that carry electricity from power generation plants to users. Non-technical losses represent the remainder of the Company’s energy losses and are mainly due to the illegal use of its services or the theft of energy. Energy losses require that the Company purchase additional energy in order to meet the demand and its Concession Agreement allows it to recover from its users the cost of these purchases up to a loss factor specified in its concession for each rate category. The current loss factor recognized in the electricity rate by virtue of its concession amounts to approximately 9.1%. |
