Howard Johnson Plaza Resort & Casino Mayorazgo, in the Argentinian Province of Entre Rios, has signed an agreement with provincial energy company Enersa to install high-speed electric vehicle charging stations at the property.

The move aims at expanding infrastructure for electric mobility at one of Argentina's casino resorts.

The agreement provides for the installation of fast chargers capable of serving electric vehicles from different manufacturers, positioning the casino resort as part of the province's emerging public charging network.

The project aligns with provincial efforts to promote sustainable energy use and modernize transport infrastructure in key tourism and entertainment hubs.

According to information released by local authorities, the charging stations will be located within the resort complex and will be accessible to guests and visitors. The initiative is part of Enersa's broader strategy to expand electric vehicle infrastructure across the province, focusing on strategic corridors, urban centers and high-traffic destinations.

The partnership was formalized through a cooperation agreement signed by representatives of the resort, Enersa and local government officials. The project forms part of a wider provincial plan aimed at encouraging the adoption of electric vehicles by improving access to charging points and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

The casino resort, located in Paraná, operates as an integrated hospitality and gaming destination that includes hotel accommodations, gaming facilities and convention spaces. By incorporating electric vehicle charging infrastructure, the property joins a growing number of hospitality and entertainment venues in Argentina seeking to adapt to changes in transportation and energy consumption patterns.

Enersa has been developing a network of electric chargers across Entre Ríos as part of a provincial energy transition agenda. The utility has previously highlighted the importance of partnerships with private operators to accelerate deployment and ensure coverage in locations with consistent visitor traffic.

The initiative also reflects a broader trend within the regional gaming and hospitality sector, where operators are increasingly engaging with energy providers to support infrastructure projects linked to sustainability and long-term operational planning. While the charging stations are not directly related to gaming operations, they contribute to the overall service offering of casino resorts and align with evolving expectations around mobility and environmental policy.

The chargers are expected to become operational following installation and technical integration, further expanding Entre Ríos' electric vehicle charging capacity.
