In October 2025, the company placed US$ 79.9 million with a 6% coupon to mature in one year, attracting US$ 143 million in orders, facilitating short-term debt refinancing, capital expenditures, and working capital integration. YPF Luz holds approximately 3.4 GW of installed generation capacity, supplying around 10% of Argentina’s electricity demand, with 368 MW of renewable assets under construction. Its portfolio spans 15 assets across eight provinces, targeting a milestone of one gigawatt of renewables in early 2026, including El Quemado and the 63 MW Parque Eólico CASA in Olavarría.
The financing rounds have included extensive participation by major local and international financial institutions such as Banco Galicia, Banco Santander Argentina, Banco Supervielle, and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (Argentina). Moody’s local rating upgrade to AAA.ar with a stable outlook underpins YPF Luz’s strong credit profile backed by long-term US dollar energy contracts with multinational industrial clients. The proceeds accumulated from these successful bonds will accelerate renewable deployments and optimize the company’s financial structure, reinforcing its competitive standing in Argentina’s evolving energy market.
