Argentina Energy Resolution Quadruples Electricity Rates for SMEs

Argentina's Secretaría de Energía issued Resolution 400/2025, modifying the Mercado Eléctrico Mayorista (MEM) and causing electricity tariffs to quadruple for industrial users, particularly SMEs. This occurs amid lower sales, collection difficulties, and increased financial obligations, straining business viability. The move signals a significant energy policy shift with potential macroeconomic implications.
