ABOUT DSP
Built for operators that need power, speed and certainty.
High-load compute projects are no longer limited by servers alone. They are limited by energy availability, deployment speed, regulatory complexity, import logistics, cooling conditions and long-term operating costs. DSP Energy was created to solve these constraints through one integrated platform.
We structure and coordinate the local foundation required for large-scale digital infrastructure: gas-backed power generation, industrial land, free-trade-zone planning, deployment coordination, permitting support, customs navigation and operating support on the ground.
DSP Energy is not a simple site introduction or a power reseller. We are a local execution platform for international Bitcoin mining, AI compute, HPC and modular data center operators entering Argentina.
INSTITUTIONAL BACKING
A specialized platform supported by a major industrial ecosystem.
DSP Energy is supported by a leading Latin American industrial group with deep experience across energy generation, natural gas, infrastructure, logistics and large-scale operations. This backing gives DSP access to a broader execution ecosystem, supplier relationships, technical knowledge and financial depth that are critical for capital-intensive energy projects.
For international clients, this matters because large compute deployments require more than attractive energy prices. They require credible counterparties, bankable execution, operating discipline, regulatory coordination and the ability to manage complex infrastructure over long contract periods.
DSP brings that institutional strength into a focused platform dedicated to energy-intensive digital infrastructure in Argentina.
WHY ARGENTINA
Argentina has the energy foundation for the next wave of digital infrastructure.
Argentina is one of South America’s most relevant energy markets, with a large natural gas base, expanding production capacity and a strategic opportunity to convert energy availability into digital infrastructure growth.
For energy-intensive businesses, Argentina offers a compelling combination: access to natural gas, large-scale land availability, industrial development zones, improving infrastructure and potentially attractive operating economics when projects are structured correctly.
DSP Energy translates this macro opportunity into executable power infrastructure for international clients that need speed, scale and local certainty.

FLAGSHIP PLATFORM — NEUQUÉN / AÑELO / VACA MUERTA
A free-trade-zone-enabled power platform next to the gas source.
DSP Energy’s flagship project is located in the Añelo / Tratayén area of Neuquén, within the Vaca Muerta energy corridor. The site has been selected for its proximity to natural gas infrastructure, industrial land availability, logistics access and long-term expansion potential.
The project is being structured around a free-trade-zone/sub-zone framework linked to Zona Franca Zapala. This structure is designed to allow qualifying imported energy and data-center equipment to enter and operate within an authorized customs-controlled perimeter with no VAT and no import duties, subject to final authorization, customs procedures, client structure and legal/tax validation.
This is a central part of the project’s economic logic. For miners, AI operators and data center companies importing servers, miners, GPUs, transformers, electrical systems, containers, cooling equipment and related infrastructure, the ability to operate inside a properly authorized free-trade-zone/sub-zone perimeter can materially improve deployment economics and reduce friction.
What the free-trade-zone structure is designed to support
Client Need | DSP Platform Response
Importing equipment | Framework designed for qualifying equipment to enter the authorized perimeter with no VAT and no import duties.
Operating imported assets | Customs-controlled environment with inventory, documentation and operational procedures.
Scaling in phases | Industrial site strategy designed for modular deployment and long-term expansion.
Re-export flexibility | Equipment remaining under the proper regime may support different customs outcomes than ordinary nationalization.
Local compliance | Coordination with legal, tax, customs and operational advisors during due diligence.
Important: If equipment is later transferred into the Argentine domestic market, it may be treated as an import/nationalization at that time and become subject to applicable taxes, duties and customs procedures. DSP can provide a detailed legal and customs framework under NDA with local counsel.
DEPLOYMENT ROADMAP
Dedicated gas-fired generation, delivered behind the meter.
The base case for DSP’s Neuquén platform is dedicated gas-fired generation located on-site or adjacent to the project area. Power is delivered behind the meter to the client’s data center through a dedicated medium-voltage delivery point, such as switchgear or a project substation defined in the final engineering design.
This architecture is designed to reduce dependence on ordinary grid interconnection timelines and to create a power solution tailored to energy-intensive digital infrastructure.
Base power model
Component | Base Structure
Energy source | Natural-gas-backed thermal generation.
Delivery model | Behind-the-meter delivery to the client’s site.
Delivery point | Dedicated medium-voltage switchgear/substation, defined in the executive project.
Grid connection | Optional backup or redundancy if technically available and commercially contracted.
Availability | Base target of 95% availability under SLA, with higher-availability structures available through additional redundancy.
Expansion | Phased roadmap designed to support large-scale capacity growth, subject to gas, engineering, permits and contracts.
The platform is being planned for phased expansion up to 1 GW of gas-backed power capacity, subject to gas allocation, engineering, equipment availability, permitting, financing, client demand and final contractual structure.
POWER ARCHITECTURE
From technical brief to power delivery.
DSP helps international clients move from market exploration to project execution through a structured, due-diligence-driven process. The objective is to reduce local complexity and give operators a clear path from capacity target to executable deployment.
Indicative process
Phase | Description
1. Initial qualification | Client shares target capacity, workload type, timeline, redundancy needs and commercial assumptions.
2. NDA and site package | DSP provides additional site information, technical assumptions, photos, maps, layout, power architecture and regulatory framework.
3. Technical and legal due diligence | Parties validate free-trade-zone structure, equipment import model, gas supply, power delivery, permits and operating requirements.
4. Term sheet / PPA framework | Parties define contracted capacity, pricing model, take-or-pay structure, security package and responsibilities.
5. Engineering and procurement | Detailed design, gas connection, generation equipment, electrical works, civil works and logistics planning.

FAQ
Is the Neuquén project inside a free trade zone?
The project is being structured around a free-trade-zone/sub-zone framework in Añelo / Tratayén, linked to Zona Franca Zapala. The objective is to operate qualifying imported equipment inside an authorized customs-controlled perimeter, subject to final authorization, customs procedures and legal/tax validation.
Does the structure eliminate VAT and import duties?
The intended framework is designed so that qualifying imported equipment operating within the authorized free-trade-zone/sub-zone perimeter can benefit from no VAT and no import duties. Final treatment depends on the client structure, type of equipment, customs procedures, formal authorization and legal/tax analysis.
What happens if equipment is sold or moved into Argentina’s domestic market?
If equipment leaves the authorized free-zone/sub-zone perimeter and is transferred into the Argentine domestic market, it may be treated as an import/nationalization and become subject to applicable taxes, duties and customs procedures at that time.
Is DSP dependent on the national grid?
The base case is dedicated gas-fired generation delivered behind the meter. The national grid may be evaluated as an optional backup or redundancy layer if technically available and commercially contracted, but it is not the base supply model.
What does 95% availability mean?
The 95% figure refers to a target availability SLA for the generation solution. It does not mean that 5% of the energy must come from the grid. Higher availability can be structured through additional redundancy, reserve capacity and backup solutions, with corresponding commercial impact.
Can the platform scale to 1 GW?
The Neuquén platform is being planned for phased expansion up to 1 GW of gas-backed power capacity, subject to gas allocation, engineering, permits, financing, equipment availability, client demand and final contracts.
Can DSP provide technical details?
Yes. DSP can provide a technical brief and site package under NDA, including site-specific capacity assumptions, power architecture, preliminary timeline, import/customs framework, layout, photos, access routes, gas assumptions and operating model.
