Central Puerto S.A. submitted a Form 6-K to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the month of March 2026, confirming its status as a foreign private issuer that reports under Form 20-F. The filing, dated March 6, 2026, is largely procedural and was signed by attorney-in-fact Leonardo Marinaro, signaling routine ongoing compliance with U.S. disclosure requirements without announcing any new operational or strategic developments.
As a foreign private issuer listed in the U.S., Central Puerto’s continued filing of Form 6-K supports transparency for international investors and maintains its eligibility to trade in U.S. markets. The absence of substantive business updates in this particular submission suggests the document serves primarily as a regulatory formality rather than an indicator of immediate change in the company’s operations or financial outlook.

Central Puerto S.A. reported financial and operational results for the fourth quarter and full year 2025 on March 5, 2026, highlighting rising annual earnings despite weaker volumes. Adjusted EBITDA climbed 17% year-on-year to US$ 337.2 million on 17% higher revenues of US$ 782.6 million, even as 2025 generation fell 14% due to poor hydrology at Piedra del Águila and maintenance-related downtime at key thermal assets.
The company advanced its growth strategy with the December 2025 award of the Piedra del Águila hydro concession through 2055, a US$ 245 million bid paid in January 2026, the November 2025 commercial start of the 15 MW San Carlos solar farm and the 1Q26 COD of the 420 MW Brigadier López combined cycle. Capex reached US$ 202.4 million in 2025, net leverage remained low at 0.32x EBITDA, and a US$ 300 million IFC syndicated loan was signed in December 2025 to fund the concession fee and a battery storage project.
Regulatory changes under Resolution 400/25 from November 2025 shifted uncontracted thermal units to a marginalist spot and term market scheme, supporting price realignment and enabling new industrial TERM contracts for Central Puerto. These reforms, combined with incremental remuneration for certain thermal units and growing renewable penetration in Argentina’s grid, position the company to benefit from electricity market normalization while managing short-term output volatility and unplanned maintenance.

The scheduled release and call highlight Central Puerto’s ongoing engagement with capital markets and its commitment to transparency for investors. Regular communication of quarterly and annual performance is particularly relevant for stakeholders tracking Argentina’s power generation sector and the company’s positioning within it.

On January 9, 2026, Central Puerto S.A. announced that, under a public tender organized by Argentina’s Ministry of Economy, it was awarded a controlling stake in Piedra del Águila Hidroeléctrica Argentina S.A., acquiring 51% of its Class A shares, 47% of its Class B shares and 2% of its Class C shares. As part of the same process, the national government transferred these shares to Central Puerto, signed a 30‑year concession agreement with Piedra del Águila Hidroeléctrica Argentina S.A. to operate the Piedra del Águila hydroelectric complex, and enabled the company to take possession of the concession assets, strengthening Central Puerto’s position in the country’s hydroelectric generation segment and expanding its long-term asset base.

On January 8, 2026, Central Puerto S.A. announced that it had resolved to carry out an early redemption of all its outstanding Class A notes and Additional Class A notes, originally issued on September 14, 2023 and October 20, 2023, respectively, for a combined nominal value of US$47.23 million at a fixed annual interest rate of 7% and scheduled to mature on March 14, 2026. The company set January 16, 2026 as the redemption and payment date, with investors to receive 100% of face value plus accrued interest through January 15, 2026—amounting to US$1.12 million in interest—for a total interest equivalent to 2.4% of nominal value, with payment to be made in U.S. dollars via Caja de Valores S.A.; after that date, the notes will cease to accrue interest, effectively allowing Central Puerto to retire this tranche of debt ahead of its original maturity and potentially optimize its capital structure within its broader US$500 million note issuance program.
