                                 PRESS RELEASE                                  
                                                                                
 FIRST SIX-MONTH PERIOD: INCREASE IN ELECTRICITY INVESTMENTSAND OPERATING LOSSES
                                                                                
Buenos Aires, August 9, 2023,
TheBoard of Directors of Empresa Distribuidora y Comercializadora Norte S.A. ("
Edenor
") approved today its financial statementsfor the six and three-month period 
ended June 30, 2023, which show a loss of ARS 17,152 million.

The recent electricity rate adjustments,which implied the increase in the 
Distribution Added Value (VAD) of 107.8% for the month of April and 73.7% for 
the month of June, resultedin an improvement in the Company's gross margin in 
pesos for the first half of the year. Notwithstanding the fact that its 
operatingresult still shows negative figures, these measures, added to the 
commencement of the Tariff Structure Review process as from June andwhich is 
expected to end in 2024, will help achieve a sound balance in the finances of 
the Company.

The Company maintains the quality levelsof the electricity service, with the 
technical service quality global indicators (SAIDI and SAIFI), being the best 
the Company has everachieved in its history. In addition, the customers' 
perception of the Company's performance is record.

                                                                                









MAIN FINANCIAL INDICATORS

The prior-year period's figures havebeen restated to reflect the changes in 
the purchasing power of the Argentine peso, in accordance with International 
Accounting StandardNo. 29 and the provisions of General Resolution No. 
777/2018 of the National Securities Commission.




Both,
revenue
and the
gross margin
,reflected in real terms increases of 14% and 4%, respectively, compared to 
the same period of the previous year as a consequence of thegranting of the 
VAD by the ENRE, effective during the second quarter of 2023.

The
EBIT
resulted in a loss of ARS30,957 million, which reflects both the overall 
increase in the Company's operating costs, and, without prejudice to the 
foregoing,a deteriorated gross margin due to the non-adjustment of rates for 
more than two years, but with positive outlook in the near future.

The
loss for the period
as of June30, 2023 amounted to ARS 17,152 million, due mainly to both the 
deterioration of the operating result and a greater financial burden 
resultingfrom the deferral of the payment of obligations with the Wholesale 
Electricity Market.

As for
Investments
, in the first 6months of 2023, they amounted to ARS 27,709 million, which in 
constant values are 49% more than the investments recorded in the firsthalf of 
2022. This indicates that we continued implementing our plan with direct 
positive impact on the quality of the service.

OPERATING INDICATORS

Electricity sales
in the first halfof 2023 increased 7% to 12,177 GWh, as compared to the 11,391 
GWh sold in the same period of the previous year, whereas the level of 
customersremained constant.
