The Association Declared That Distributors Received 23 Proposals From National and International Companies Interested in Pipeline Gas From the Northeast
Abegás (Brazilian Association of Pipeline Gas Distributors) announced last Tuesday (04/16) that the distributors in the Northeast received twenty-three proposals for a bidding process to acquire and distribute gas from the region.
The proposals were made by nine companies, including national and international groups, and are part of a tender opened by the Association last year aimed at diversifying the sources of natural gas supply, which today belongs to Petrobras.
Earlier this month, the government had already approved the resolution that establishes the Competition Committee of the Natural Gas Market in Brazil, with the aim of seeking more competitive prices and ensuring free access to the existing network of pipelines in the country, which has a 60% idle capacity, according to the Ministry of Mines and Energy.
