In the coming days, when it is officially announced, those interested (businesses, industries and households) in being part of the subsidy scheme must enter the link https://www.argentina.gob.ar/subsidios to carry out the procedure.
It is worth remembering that, according to the established segmentations, currently, There are three types of homes:
- High income (N1)
- Low income (N2)
- Average income (N3)
The N2 and N3 cover only a small part of the costs of the energy they consume, which is one of the items on the bills, in addition to the cost of transportation, distribution and national, municipal and provincial taxes.

Regarding electricity increases, the portfolio headed by Eduardo Rodríguez Chirilo made an estimate of increases in average residential consumption of 260 KWh:
- N1 will go from $24,710 to $30,355 (22.8%)
- N3 will go from $6,585 to $16,850 (155.9%)
- N2 will go from $6,295 to $12,545 (99.3%)
On the other hand, Resolution 90/2024 published by Energía establishes new consumption limits with subsidies. This implies that users N2 and N3 that exceed these limits will pay more for electricity.
“For the demand of users categorized in the Level 2 the base consumption limit is set at THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY (350) kWh/month”says the standard. This segment did not have a consumption limit with subsidies with the scheme that had been in effect since 2022 and that the Government modified this Wednesday. For cold areas the limit will be 700 kWh/month.
