Empresa Provincial de Energía de Córdoba

Empresa Provincial de Energía de Córdoba (EPEC) is the provincial electricity utility responsible for the generation, transmission, distribution, and commercialization of electrical energy in Córdoba, Argentina. It is owned by the Province of Córdoba and operates under the authority of the provincial government. EPEC serves a diverse customer base that includes residential, commercial, and industrial users throughout the province. The company manages a portfolio of power plants that comprises thermal and hydroelectric facilities, supporting the regional electricity supply. In addition to generation, EPEC maintains and operates the high‑voltage transmission network and the medium‑ and low‑voltage distribution infrastructure that delivers electricity to end‑users. The utility also participates in programs aimed at promoting renewable energy integration and improving energy efficiency within its service area.

The company's headquarters are situated in the city of Córdoba, which serves as the central point for its administrative and operational management. On 9 August 2025, EPEC reported that its social media accounts had been compromised, with unauthorized posts containing sexual images and promotions for trading courses appearing on its Instagram profile. Similar suspicious activity was suspected on its Facebook account, while its X (formerly Twitter) account was later restored after the incident. EPEC confirmed the breach in a public statement and indicated that its technical and security teams were working to regain full control of all affected platforms. The origin and motive of the attack remain unknown, as noted in the company's communication following the event. Despite the cyber incident, EPEC continues to carry out its core mandate of providing electricity services to the province of Córdoba.
