THE TARIFF SITUATION OF NATURAL GAS IN ARGENTINA
The recent fluctuations in natural gas tariffs are a hot topic in Argentina , where Transportadora de Gas del Norte plays an important role .
Ridelener adds : “ The integral agreement signed with the Government implied , after more than a decade of freezing , a recompositing of the tariff based on the guidelines established by current legislation . The integral tariff review consisted precisely of bringing the tariff to its fair and reasonable value and then maintaining the real value of it through semi-annual adjustments based on the evolution of local inflation rates .”
“ There is a discussion going on at the political and media level regarding what the adjustment will be like in October . The Government , within the agreed rules , wants to moderate this increase , so that it has the least possible impact on consumers . In particular , I would be working on generating scenarios of greater competition in the purchase of gas by the distributors ,” concludes the CEO .
