Background
The Genelba III power station was one of 29 new power plants totalling 3340 MW approved as part of Argentina's TERCONF program in November 2023 under the outgoing government of Alberto Fernández.[11][12] However, on July 8, 2024 the entire TerCONF block of projects was shelved under the incoming government of President Javier Milei[13], as confirmed by the Secretary of Energy's resolution 151 / 2024.[14] As of July 2026, two years had passed without further news, and the project was presumed to be cancelled.
