Carlos Casares, head of Enargas, resigned stating the government considers him expendable ahead of the new Ente Regulador del Gas y de la Electricidad. This exit adds to four others in under 24 hours, involving changes at Transporte, UIF, and Trenes Argentinos. The reasons tie to executive restructurings.
Amid restructurings in the Argentine government, Carlos Casares resigned as president of Enargas. In his resignation letter, Casares stated: “the Government considers him expendable”, referring to the upcoming formation of the Ente Regulador del Gas y de la Electricidad (ENRGE), set to begin operations in March 2026.
This marks the fifth exit from the executive in the last 24 hours. Earlier, Luis Pierrini left the Ministry of Transporte, Paulo Starc resigned from the Financial Information Unit (UIF), and two directors from Trenes Argentinos also departed. Sources link these changes to internal adjustments, though full motives and replacements remain unspecified.
Enargas, the gas regulatory body, is undergoing changes with the ENRGE's creation, which will unify gas and electricity oversight. Casares, appointed in December 2025, had led efforts to stabilize the energy sector. No contradictions appear in the confirmed exits, but the pace of changes sparks questions about governmental stability.
