The Action Aims to Find New Agents Interested in the Supply of Natural Gas That Meet Market Expectations.
The deadline for the coordinated public call to purchase natural gas launched by fuel distributors in the states of Alagoas, Bahia, Ceará, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Rio Grande do Norte, and Sergipe has been extended to January 31, 2019. This action is a result of the ANP’s launch of the TPC (Public Call for Contributions) that aims to promote measures to encourage competition in the natural gas sector. According to George Ventura, president of the Board of Directors of the Brazilian Association of Gas Distribution Companies (Abegás), the decision to extend the public call for the acquisition of natural gas is a strategic action aimed at increasing the sector’s competitiveness, following the ANP’s call.
Sector agents will have a better opportunity to prepare their expressions of interest, as the points to be addressed in the TPC will positively impact the public call of the distributors, promoting a significant improvement in the quality of the proposals to be presented.
This extension was also presented by the gas distribution concessionaires operating in the South, Southeast, and Central-West regions of Brazil. All concessionaires are served by the same transport pipeline (Bolivia-Brazil). The forecast for the conclusion of the process throughout 2019 will also be maintained for the second phase.

To provide better market conditions for users of piped natural gas, coordinated public calls serve to diversify supply sources. The initiative brings together distributors in the Northeast such as Algas, Bahiagás, Cegás, PBGás, Copergás, Potigás, and Sergás, totaling a potential of 9.4 million cubic meters of gas per day.
The notices with information about the initiative can be found in Portuguese and English on the websites of each distributor. Regarding the concessionaires operating in the South, Southeast, and Central-West regions of Brazil, the total volume for acquisition is approximately 10 million cubic meters per day, and the companies are Compagas, GasBrasiliano, MSGás, SCGás, and SulGás. With all this acquisition, the initiative aims to find new agents interested in the supply of natural gas that meets the expectations of the current market.
