Supporting the Transition to a Sustainable Electricity Sector in Argentina

The objective of the Supporting the Transition to a Sustainable Electricity Sector Project is to strengthen institutional capacity to rationalize energy subsidies in Argentina. There are two components to the project, the first component being project management, capacity building, and instruments to foster sector sustainability. This component will focus on strengthening the GoA’s capabilities for the implementation of component 2 to ensure ongoing efforts and potential subsidy reforms can be effective, efficient, and clearly communicated. The component will also seek to support the improvement of capacities to assess and address key impacts of subsidy reform, particularly on the most vulnerable households, as well as key drivers of the energy sector’s sustainability. This component includes two subcomponents: project management and strengthening institutional capacities and processes to improve sector sustainability. The second component is the financing rationalized electricity subsidies for users with validated eligibility criteria.
