Özet:

The electrical macro-system of the Atlantic coast of Buenos Aires displays a form of development which differs from the drives and expectations of the global productive process and from the general social reproduction conditions that can be described as underdeveloped. Since 2003 and due to the increasing consumption of electricity, electrical supply issues have worsened and the area has started to experience a state of electricity emergence. This paper analyzes those key factors which explain such situation: the Capitalist re-structuring of the electric sector which took place during the 1990s and the way of working imposed by the regulatory framework, the political and economic changes of the Post-convertibility period, the application of an anti-crisis strategy based on palliative measures and a marked seasonality of the local electricity demand induced by the enormous tourist influx
