Description: EDN Empresa Distribuidora y January 18, 2026
Empresa Distribuidora y Comercializadora Norte S.A. (EDN) is an Argentine electric utility that distributes and sells electricity nationwide. Founded in 1992 and headquartered in Buenos Aires, the firm operates as a subsidiary of Empresa de Energía del Cono Sur S.A. and has been trading under its current name since January 1997.
Key operating metrics (as of FY 2023) include approximately 2.1 million residential and commercial customers, annual revenue of US$ 1.3 billion, and a regulated EBITDA margin of roughly 38 %. The company’s cash-flow generation is highly sensitive to Argentina’s inflation-adjusted tariff regime and to the peso-dollar exchange rate, which together drive net-interest-bearing debt levels that currently sit near 70 % of EBITDA.
Sector-wide drivers that materially affect EDN’s outlook are: (1) the Argentine government’s ongoing subsidy reforms, which can alter tariff structures; (2) the nation’s push to increase renewable-energy capacity, creating both grid-integration costs and opportunities for ancillary-service revenues; and (3) macro-economic volatility, especially inflation rates that have averaged above 80 % YoY, influencing consumer demand and cost-pass-through mechanisms.
For a deeper quantitative dive, the ValueRay platform offers granular financial metrics and scenario analyses that can help you assess EDN’s risk-adjusted upside.
