about Market Risk
Financial Risk Management Goals and Policies
Our principal financial liabilities comprise
of bank loans and trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance our operations. We have trade
and other receivables, and cash and cash equivalents that result directly from our operations. We also have financial assets at fair value
through profit and loss.
Due to our business activity, we are exposed
to the following financial risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. We continuously monitor these risks to minimize the potential
negative impact they could have on our finances.

Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of changes in the fair
value or the future cash flows of financial instruments due to fluctuations in market prices. The market risks affecting our business
include interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and price risk.

See “Item 3.D.—Risk Factors—Risks
Relating to Our Business—Our results depend largely on the compensation established by the Secretariat of Electric Energy and received
from CAMMESA” and “Item 3.D.—Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Electric Power Sector in Argentina—We have,
in the recent past, been unable to collect payments, or to collect them in a timely manner, from CAMMESA and other customers in the electric
power sector”.
We are entitled to receive payments from CAMMESA
under the Spot Sales within 42 days after the date of billing. In previous years, due to regulatory conditions in Argentina’s electric
power sector that affected the profitability and economic viability of power utilities, certain WEM agents defaulted on their payments
to CAMMESA, which adversely affected CAMMESA’s ability to meet its payment obligations to electric power generators, including us.
As a consequence, in the past, we have seen CAMMESA pay more than 90 days after month-end, rather than the required 42 days after the
date of billing. Such payment delays would result in higher working capital requirements than we would typically have to finance with
our own financing sources. Since March 2024, CAMMESA has reduced payment delays, which now average 2 to 5 days after the expiration of
the regulatory 42-day period.
Liquidity Risk
See Note 19 to our audited and consolidated Financial
Statements for the period ended December 31, 2025.
