Solid
Utilities - Regulated Electric Distribution
Strategic Profile
Edenor's core strategy is to transition from being a traditional utility to a broad energy leader by building on existing business strengths, expanding to supply clean energy as part of the energy transition, and continuing to develop a smart grid using technology and innovation. The company has made infrastructure investments of more than USD 2 billion to strengthen operational capabilities. The company recently changed its corporate purpose to participate and invest in a broader range of businesses, including renewable and conventional electricity generation, plus critical minerals for energy transition.
