The capacity of self-consumption systems connected to distribution grids increased from 118.6 MW at the end of 2025 to 159.5 MW in June, while the number of users generating and feeding surplus electricity into the grid rose 25.8% to more than 4,700.
Argentina added 40.9 MW of distributed generation capacity in the first half of 2026, increasing cumulative installed capacity by 34.5% from 118.6 MW at the end of 2025 to 159.5 MW in June. Over the same period, the number of user-generators rose 25.8%, from 3,762 to 4,734, according to the latest report from the country’s Secretariat of Energy.
The country now has 159.5 MW of cumulative installed distributed generation capacity across more than 4,700 projects that have completed installation, connected to the grid through bidirectional meters, and obtained user-generator status.
In June alone, Argentina added 186 user-generators and 6.9 MW of capacity. This represented monthly growth of 4% in the number of connected installations and 4.5% in cumulative capacity compared with May, when the country had 4,548 user-generators and 152.6 MW installed.
The report also identifies 1,041 pending applications totaling 43.8 MW. If all projects are completed, cumulative distributed generation capacity under the national program would exceed 203 MW.
