Sources: 2. Developments: 2. The Argentine government has moved to restart the Las Armas Compressor Plant project, a strategic component of the Gasoducto de la Costa intended to bolster natural gas supplies for the Atlantic Coast and Mar del Plata. The project had been stalled since September 2024 following decisions by the Javier Milei administration regarding public works. Following pressure from the Gas Industry Workers Union of the Atlantic Coast (STIGAS), the government initiated technical and economic evaluations. To facilitate the restart, ENARSA began resolving outstanding debts with contractors. Ultimately, the government announced that Camuzzi Gas Pampeana will complete the plant through private investment exceeding 6 million USD. The facility, located in the Maipú district, will feature two motor-compressors with a total power of 2,400 HP. The project aims to finish works before the winter of 2027, optimizing operations for the Gasoducto de la Costa and the Tandil–Mar del Plata section to benefit approximately 650,000 people. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-18: Camuzzi to complete Las Armas compressor plant in Argentina Camuzzi Gas Pampeana will invest over 6 million USD to complete the Las Armas compressor plant, expanding the Gasoducto de la Costa capacity to benefit 650,000 people by winter 2027. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/camuzzi-to-complete-las-armas-compressor-plant-in-argentina ### 2026-08-10: Argentina orders completion of Las Armas Compressor Plant Argentina has ordered the completion of the Las Armas Compressor Plant to secure natural gas supplies for Mar del Plata and the Atlantic Coast after months of inactivity. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/argentina-orders-completion-of-las-armas-compressor-plant --- Cite as: Argentina Las Armas compressor plant restart.
