Patagonia gas tariff and infrastructure developments

Overview

In Argentina, regulatory and municipal actions have emerged regarding gas tariffs and infrastructure financing in the Patagonia region.

The National Regulatory Entity for Gas and Electricity (Enrege) approved a surcharge for over 126,000 users in Neuquén, Río Negro, and Chubut. This measure aims to repay loans used by Camuzzi Gas del Sur to fund the expansion of the Gasoducto Cordillerano Patagónico, a project exceeding $50 million intended to restore transport capacity and connect 25 Andean localities.

Concurrently, the Municipality of Comodoro Rivadavia has filed a formal complaint with Enrege to contest gas tariff calculations. Local officials are seeking transparency regarding variable charges and the application of the ‘Zona Fría’ (Cold Zone) subsidy. The municipality alleges inconsistencies in transport cost formulas, claiming the region is being charged for freight originating from Neuquén despite local production availability.
