- Renewable energy — Wind and solar generation from Manque, La Genoveva and San Carlos assets, supported by Argentina's renewable energy programs.
- Natural gas distribution and transmission — Equity stakes in ECOGAS and Transportadora de Gas del Mercosur provide regulated returns from gas delivery services.
- Biofuels and other energy products — Biofuel production and other fuel-related sales, smaller in scale than thermal generation.

- Concentration in Argentina — Substantially all operations are in Argentina, exposing the company to country-specific economic, political and currency risks.
- Equity investment risk — Holdings in ECOGAS and Transportadora de Gas del Mercosur may expose the company to regulatory, operational and financial risks of those entities.
