Agenersa joins national pact to develop natural gas market

The Energy and Basic Sanitation Regulatory Agency of the State of Rio de Janeiro (Agenersa) has officially joined the National Pact for the Development of the Natural Gas Market. Coordinated by the Ministry of Mines and Energy in partnership with the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP), the pact aims to harmonize and improve regulations for the natural gas, biogas, and biomethane markets.

Through this agreement, Agenersa will participate in management meetings and technical groups to share best practices and evolve regulatory frameworks. The Federation of Industries of the State of Rio de Janeiro (Firjan) welcomed the move, stating that integrated and predictable regulatory environments help unlock infrastructure investments and reduce tariff costs for industrial consumers. The move aligns regional norms with the New Gas Law (Law 14.134/21).
