The gas regulatory entity sent a note to distributors and transporters so that take the necessary measures to guarantee supply to residential users, who in the jargon are identified as “priority demand.” This led to greater gas outages not only at CNG service stations, but also in industries, in a preventive way.
The low temperatures will continue until next Tuesday, so it is not ruled out that supply cuts could be extended to more companies in the coming days. At the moment, gas distributors limited the fluid to users who have interruptible contractswhere it is expected that their service will be cut off if they have to manage the gas transportation capacity.
“The gas cutoff has not yet reached users with pure firm contracts”, they said in the Government, which would mean reaching a state of “emergency.” At the moment, Enargas informed the companies that they are in a “pre-emergency” situation.
“It will be up to all transportation and distribution licensees involved immediately adopt all necessary measures to ensure system operability conditions and regular and continuous service to consumerswhich includes the proper supply of gas to support uninterrupted demand,” Enargas said in the note sent.
