The New Law Signed in the State of Parana Opens the Natural Gas Market and Creates the Possibility of Direct Purchase with Suppliers in the Region, Which Boosts the Drop in Prices of the Resource and the Reduction of Dependence on Compagas

On last Monday, (05/30), Governor Carlos Massa Ratinho Junior signed the state law (Complementary Law 247/2022) that incorporates the New Natural Gas Law into the legislation in the state of Parana. With it, certain consumers will lose dependence on Compagas and have the possibility of a free market for trade, which could reduce fuel prices in the region and increase competitiveness in commercialization.

Consumers in the State of Parana Will Now Have the Possibility of a Free Market for Purchasing Natural Gas and Will Be Able to Negotiate Directly with Suppliers

Governor Carlos Massa Ratinho Junior enacted the New Gas Law in the state of Parana, ensuring the opening of the natural gas commercialization market for certain consumers. Consequently, they will be able to negotiate directly with suppliers of the fuel and will not be entirely dependent on Compagas for gas supply in the coming months, which ensures an increase in competitiveness and a possible reduction in prices.

Now, those consumers who use from 10,000 m³ of natural gas per day will be able to transition to the free market and purchase the resource directly from suppliers, with Compagas, the state-owned company, only receiving compensation for the distribution of the energy source. Those utilizing thermal plants will be able to purchase starting from 100,000 m³ of gas per day.

New Free Market Gas Law in Parana Will Ensure Tariff Reductions, Along with Decreased Fuel Prices and Increased Competitiveness

In addition to determining the opening of the market for fuel commercialization in the state of Parana, the New Gas Law also guarantees other changes in the region. Among these is the authorization regime for new gas pipelines, following the model of the railway system, and the requirement that a company provide third-party access to its infrastructures and update the existing regulation from 2009, thus ensuring greater dynamism in the gas segment in the region.

According to economist Marcelo Curado, representative of the Civil House in the Intersecretarial Committee of the State Gas Plan, tariff reductions will also occur in the future: “Periodic tariff reviews will now happen every five years. It’s a regulatory modernization and aligns with what is already happening in other states, including in other sectors related to infrastructure. Furthermore, in a longer timeframe, it is possible to enhance the distributor’s planning and reconcile a more efficient regulatory agenda, also protecting the consumer market from very frequent updates.”

With this, the state of Parana is now seeking to ensure more equitable natural gas commercialization for the end consumer, as well as to attract the arrival of new companies in the field, as the opening of trade may draw the attention of fuel suppliers to the Parana region in the coming months.

A giant half-ton ring fell in Kenya from space, and more than a year later, scientists still do not know where it came from.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

For the first time, scientists have mapped the Etna magma system in almost real time and discovered where the volcano was storing large volumes of molten material before years of eruptions, revealing an underground reservoir that fills and reorganizes like a living organism beneath the mountain.

More than 1,500 Chinese workers transformed an entire railway station in just one night and reduced a 7-hour journey to 90 minutes with a high-speed line of 200 km/h.

Brazilian city becomes a global destination after attracting tourists who travel up to 10,000 km to visit a sanctuary with 11 giant saints up to 10 meters tall, open 24 hours and located along a highway in SP.

JBL Flip Essential 3 SE is launched with 30W of power (20W + 10W), Bluetooth 5.4, Auracast for multiple connections, IP67 water and dust resistance, up to 12 hours of battery life, and a price of approximately R$ 660 in China.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

Pernambuco paradise with 59% of preserved area advances with R$ 2 billion in e-methanol, aims for 900 tons/day, grows 38.6% and builds electrified terminal of 400 thousand TEUs.

Brazil may have railways back on the map, but it will need the government: a study reveals 7,412 km ready for reactivation, a cost of R$ 75 billion, 61 sections analyzed, and none viable without public funding.

China has just discovered oil in rock layers that no one thought could be explored at the bottom of the South China Sea, and the field with over 100 million tons could change the balance of energy power in Asia.

Petrobras finds oil on the seabed in the Campos Basin, hundreds of kilometers off the coast of Rio, and the discovery in a deep area raises curiosity about what else may be hidden in the pre-salt and how much this new area could surprise Brazil in the coming years.

Petrobras announces a new discovery in the pre-salt layer of the Campos Basin in block C-M-477, 201 km off the coast of Rio and at a depth of 2,984 m, following indications from electrical profiles, gas, and samples collected during drilling.

Even before the first drilling on the Brazilian Equatorial Margin, a wave of migrants is pressuring Oiapoque, expanding precarious occupations and transforming the city of Amapá into the new epicenter of the oil rush in the Amazon.

Oil rises more than 7% and surpasses $102 this Monday (13) after the announcement of the U.S. blockade on Iran, putting pressure on fuels, raising global inflation, and impacting economic costs.
