The price of gas ball could increase considerably and hit the pockets of Peruvian citizens in the coming months, especially since September of this year, due to some factors that include the possible refusal to extend the permanence of bottled LPG in the Fuel Price Stabilization Fund (FEPC) and external variables, warned the Peruvian Liquefied Gas Society (SPGL).
According to Janinne Delgadoexecutive director of said union, who declared Managementthe gas bottle could eventually reach a value of 70 soles on average only in Lime. In regions, it is not ruled out that the cost could become higher.
“In the capital, [Delgado] He said that the year began with bottled LPG at S/50 (for 10 kilo ball) and today it is around S/57, and although he initially avoided giving an estimate on the price it could reach in the coming months, at another time he hinted that it could eventually reach a value of S/70″, it was specified in the note of the aforementioned medium.
This Thursday June 27 The deadline for bottled LPG, colloquially known as domestic ballcontinue within the Stabilization Fund (officialized with the Supreme Decree 007-2024-EM, issued last March 26). And, according to Delgado, the Peruvian government would not extend the permanence that, until now, keeps the price stable.
The information handled by the union, that the government has not given signs of wanting to extend the rule with the consumer protection scheme, comes from previous ‘coordinations’ with the Ministry of Energy and Mines (Minem) and the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF).
Delgado, faced with this scenario, explained to Management that the increase would be progressive, “as the international demand for this derivative increases, but that, in addition, it could lead to an increase in the country’s energy poverty.”
If the government does not maintain LPG packaged in the Stabilization Fund, according to Delgado, after June 27 the rise would begin to be felt, although still less than one sol, but which, as the months go by, could place the price of gas ball up to 70 soles on average.
