Cut In Natural Gas Prices Benefits Homes, Businesses, Industries And CNG Stations Across The State Of Rio
Starting this Sunday, February 1st, the reduction of natural gas tariffs by Naturgy in Rio de Janeiro comes into effect. The measure directly impacts residential consumers, businesses, industries, and especially the CNG stations, which will see an average drop of 12.5% in prices. According to the utility company, the change is mainly due to the reduction in the cost of acquiring natural gas supplied by Petrobras.
Already, Naturgy clarifies that the adjustment follows regulatory criteria and directly reflects the current contractual conditions. Thus, the new tariff level will apply simultaneously to customers in the Metropolitan Region and the interior of the state.
In the Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro, served by CEG, the average reduction will be -4.44% for residential customers, considering consumption of up to 7 m³ per month. Additionally, the commercial segment will experience an average decrease of -4.61%, considering monthly consumption of 400 m³. Meanwhile, the CNG stations will experience the largest impact, with a reduction of -12.50%, while the industrial sector will see an average cut of -11.63%, considering consumption of 3 million m³ per month.

In the interior of the state, an area served by CEG Rio, the percentages follow a similar trend. In this sense, residential customers will see an average reduction of -4.45%, while businesses will experience a decrease of -5.21%. Likewise, the CNG stations in the interior will have a reduction of -9.84%, and industries will benefit from an average reduction of -10.19%, also considering monthly consumption of 3 million m³.
Thus, the utility company estimates that about 1 million customers will directly benefit from the tariff reduction starting in February. Furthermore, the impact is considered significant because Rio de Janeiro leads the national CNG market, with approximately 1.7 million converted light vehicles and over 700 fuel stations in operation, according to consolidated sector data.
In addition to the immediate effect on consumers’ wallets, the reduction reinforces the strategic role of the state in the use of vehicular natural gas. Currently, Rio de Janeiro accounts for the highest level of gasification in the country, representing 14.9% of the national natural gas consumption, according to data from the regulated sector itself.
In the business context, Naturgy operates in Brazil as the second largest group in natural gas sales, working in the residential, commercial, industrial, thermoelectric, and CNG segments. Additionally, the company is the national leader in sales volume for the thermoelectric sector and maintains its leadership in the vehicular natural gas market. Simultaneously, the company also operates in 18 municipalities in the state of São Paulo, expanding its presence in the national market.
Finally, the utility company emphasizes that investments in modernization of distribution infrastructure are ongoing. Thus, the tariff reduction announced for February 1st reinforces the policy of aligning prices to supply conditions, maintaining regulatory transparency and compliance with the editorial guidelines required by Google Di.
