Within the framework of the efforts that the municipality of Esquel continues to carry out to attract investors to the city, Mayor Matías Taccetta confirmed that the El Bolsón Public Works and Services Cooperative, Coopetel, will be installed and will be located in the gas plant at the entrance to the city that has not been used for several years.
As Taccetta indicated, it will be a “solution to what bottled gas is for a large part of the town.” Furthermore, he stressed that It will generate between 15 and 20 jobs and will supply the entire mountain area of the province.
It is expected that in the coming days Governor Ignacio Torres will sign the agreement to have the authorization of the National Secretariat of Energy.
It is worth noting that the company comes to Esquel with cylinders at a lower price than those in the city, which is why the mayor maintained that “it is competition and will cause prices to drop.” Therefore, he highlighted this facility in the region and confirmed that “it will be beneficial.”
Coopetel has been in the Liquefied Gas business for almost 30 years and is operating with fractionated gas in 10,15 and 45 kg. bulk gas in tanks of 0.5 to 7 m3, an activity carried out from the El Bolsón plant.
They currently supply fractionated gas to the towns of Bariloche, Villa La Angostura, El Bolsón, Ñorquinco, Río Chico, Lago Puelo, El Hoyo, Epuyén, Cholila, El Maitén, Cushamen, Gualjaina, Esquel, Paso del Sapo and Gastre.
