indistinctly) meets, with the presence of directors Osvaldo RECA, Miguel DODERO, José Luis MOREA, Jorge VILLEGAS, Diego PETRACCHI,
Tomas WHITE, Marcelo Atilio SUVA, Martina BLANCO and Martin LHEZ. Also present are Messrs. Cesar HALLADJIAN, Eduardo EROSA and Juan NICHOLSON,
members of the Company’s Statutory Audit Committee. The Chairman informs that the Meeting is held via videoconference pursuant to
Section 23 of CPSA’s Bylaws, which section states that the Board of Directors can hold meetings with members communicated via videoconference.
There being enough quorum to hold the meeting, the meeting commences at 11 a.m. and the first point in the Agenda is open for discussion:
Then, the (...) third item on the Agenda is put to vote: 3) APPROVAL OF THE CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT, CONSOLIDATED COMPREHENSIVE
INCOME STATEMENT, CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET, CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY, CONSOLIDATED CASH FLOW
STATEMENT, COMPLEMENTARY NOTES, INDIVIDUAL INCOME STATEMENT, INDIVIDUAL COMPREHENSIVE INCOME STATEMENT, INDIVIDUAL BALANCE SHEET, INDIVIDUAL
CASH FLOW STATEMENT AND BRIEF FOR THE NINE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024. Mr. RECA asks Mr. Juan Avigliano, Accounting
and Accounts Payable Manager of the Company, to present the topic. Mr. Avigliano takes the floor and informs that the Board of Directors
must consider and approve the Consolidated Income Statement, the Consolidated Comprehensive Income Statement, the Consolidated Balance
Sheet, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity, the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, Complementary Notes,
the Individual Income Statement, the Individual Comprehensive Income Statement, the Individual Balance Sheet, the Individual Cash Flow
Statement, and the Brief for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024. Such documentation was previously known by the Board of Directors.
After a short debate and after acknowledging the Statutory Audit Committee report and the reports by the Independent Auditors, the members
of the Board of Directors unanimously approve the Consolidated Income
Statement, the Consolidated Comprehensive Income Statement,
the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity, the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement,
Complementary Notes, the Individual Income Statement, the Individual Comprehensive Income Statement, the Individual Balance Sheet, the

and informs the people present about the compliance status with General Resolution No. 611/12 of Comisión Nacional de Valores (Argentine
Securities Commission). In that regard, Mr. Osvaldo RECA informs that the Company is aware of the Reconciliation between the Professional
Accounting Standards (NCP) and the International Financing Reporting Standards (IFRS) (the “Standards”), which apply to the
investments that the Company keeps with Termoeléctrica Manuel Belgrano S.A., Termoeléctrica José de San Martín
S.A., Central Vuelta de Obligado S.A., Transportadora de Gas del Mercosur S.A, CP Renovables S.A., Vientos La Genoveva S.A.U, Vientos
La Genoveva II S.A.U. and Proener S.A.U., all Companies periodically monitored by the Company. Therefore, it can be concluded that all
significant items with a different treatment from the Standards have been considered in the Reconciliation, and the Board of Directors
of the Company unanimously approves the Reconciliation thereof. Before adjourning the meeting, Mr. Cesar Halladjian takes the floor, who
acts on behalf of the Statutory Audit Committee, and puts on record the decisions taken in this meeting as per the Bylaws, the Argentine
Business Entities Act and the CNV Regulations. There being no further business to transact, the meeting is adjourned at 11:45 a.m.

| 5. | Controlling shareholding |
As a consequence of the merger between Central Puerto S.A., in
its capacity as parent company and Operating S.A. (“OPER”), Hidroneuquén S.A. (“HNQ”) and Sociedad Argentina

acquired companies’ shares swap, none of the shareholders of Central Puerto S.A. holds a controlling interest.
Finally, it is important to highlight the fact that share capital
is under public offering and it is listed in the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange (“BCBA”) and; since February 2, 2018, in the
New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Therefore, shareholding may experience variations, which the company may not be aware of.
Yours sincerely,

STATUTORY AUDIT COMMITTEE’S REPORT
To the Shareholders of
CENTRAL PUERTO S.A.
Introduction
1.
Pursuant to the regulations set forth in Subsection 5, Section 294 of the Argentine Business Entities
Act No. 19 950 as amended (the “Business Entities Act”) and the Listing Regulations of Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos S.A.
for the ‘Authorization, Suspension, Withdrawal and Cancellation of the listing of Securities’ (BYMA Listing Regulations),
we have examined the attached individual and consolidated financial statements of CENTRAL PUERTO S.A. and its subsidiaries, which are
attached herein and which include: (a) the individual and consolidated balance sheet as at September 30, 2024, (b) the individual and
consolidated income and comprehensive income statement for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, and the consolidated statement
of changes in shareholders’ equity as of September 30, 2024 and the individual and consolidated cash flow statement for the nine-month
period
ended September 30, 2024 and (c) a summary
of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. The above-mentioned documents are the responsibility of the
Company’s Board of Directors in the execution of its exclusive duties.
Scope of the work
2.
Our work consisted of verifying that the information contained in the mentioned financial statements
was consistent with the information about the Company’s decisions which were stated in the records, and that those decisions complied
with the law and the Bylaws, both regarding formal and documentary requirements. For the purpose of performing this task, we have considered
the independent auditor’s reports by the external auditor Pablo Decundo, member of the firm Pistrelli, Henry Martin y Asociados
S.A. Such reports dated November 7, 2024 were issued in compliance with the International Standard on Review Engagement 2410, “Review
of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity”, issued by the International Auditing and Assurance
Standards Board (“IAASB”). We have not performed any management control, and therefore, we have not assessed the criteria
and business decisions regarding the administration, financing, commercialization and production, since it is the Board who bears exclusive
responsibility for these matters. Therefore, our responsibility is limited to state an assessment regarding those documents and it is
not extended to acts, omissions or circumstances that we do not know, or that could not be inferred from the analysis of the information
received by this Statutory Audit Committee during the execution of its duties. We consider that our work and the external auditor’s
reports are a reasonable ground on which we can base our report.
Conclusion
3.
Based on our review and the reports dated November 7, 2024, issued by accountant Pablo Decundo, as
member of the firm Pistrelli, Henry Martin y Asociados S.A., which review and reports were mentioned in paragraph 1, we found no evidence
to conclude that the condensed interim financial statements mentioned in paragraph 1 were not prepared, in all their significant aspects,
pursuant to the relevant regulations established in the Business Entity Act and Comisión Nacional de Valores (Argentine Securities
Commission) and the IAS 34.
Report on other legal and regulatory requirements
| 4. | Pursuant to current regulations, we inform that: |
a)
The individual and consolidated financial statements indicated in paragraph 1 arise from accounting
records carried, in their formal aspects, pursuant to the legal provisions in force.
b)
The individual and consolidated financial statements indicated in paragraph 1 are recorded in the
Inventory Book and they comply with the Business Entities Act and the relevant resolutions by the Argentine Securities Commission, to
the scope of our competence.
c)
We have read the “Brief for the periods ended September 30, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020”
and regarding our scope of work, we have no observations to make.
d)
It is hereby expressed that the Company has complied with the provisions by Section 294 of the Business
Entities Act which were considered necessary pursuant to the circumstances, in order to verify the compliance by the Company’s governing
bodies with the Business Entities Act, the Bylaws and the decisions adopted at Shareholders’ Meetings, and there are no observations
to be made.
City of Buenos Aires, November 7, 2024.

Statutory Auditor
The signing of the Financial Statements and the Statutory
Audit Committee’s Report is delegated to Mr. Cesar Halladjian unanimously. (…) There being no further business to come before
