With the new gas law, many projects will be able to get off the ground and finally become real to benefit the state
After 20 years of attempts to expand the natural gas market in Rondônia, the fuel may finally reach local homes and industries if the New Gas Law, a proposal that is Congress since 2013, be approved. This is because one of the main points of the new regulatory framework is the expansion of the gas pipeline network, which today is basically concentrated in the Midwest, Southeast and South regions.

The solution to a historic natural gas problem
The solution to the historic problem only began to gain momentum last year, with the entry of private resources. Unable to afford the necessary investments, representatives of Petrobras and the state government agreed to give up the service in order to prioritize the long-awaited arrival of natural gas.
With this, the state-owned company, which today holds the monopoly of the distribution service in Rondônia and in the rest of the country, opens space for the commercial exploitation of other companies.
“The current market is extremely closed and cartelized, with practically 100% under the control of Petrobras and other state-owned companies. There are no investments, for example, to expand the gas pipeline network in Brazil. With the new law, we will provide legal certainty so that the private sector can actively participate, build gas pipelines and, more than that, the possibility of taking these pipelines to various parts of the country, generating new investments”, defends federal deputy Domingos Sávio ( PSDB-MG), one of the authors of PL 6407/2013.
The New Gas Law
The bill seeks to facilitate the entry of companies through changes in the form of contracting, requires the sharing of existing structures with third parties upon payment, authorizes large consumers to build their own pipelines and makes it difficult for the same agents to act in different stages of the process. of production.
The text was approved in the Chamber last Tuesday (September 3st), by 1 votes to 351. It was approved without changes in relation to the version endorsed in 101 by the House Mines and Energy commission.
