(Energy Analytics Institute, Aaron Simonsky, 24.Jun.2018) – Argentina’s recently appointed Energy Minister Javier Iguacel conducted meetings with executives from gas distributors and transporters in the Southern Cone country to discuss some important issues.
The meetings come at a crucial time as many companies in the Argentine gas sector face problems related to the rising dollar as well as rising commodity prices. Additionally, the devaluation of the Argentine peso has resulted in higher prices for consumers just as the winter commences, reported the daily La Nacion.
The meetings where aimed to address these issues, among others, and perhaps establish a pricing formula that doesn’t boost consumer prices or result in an increase in energy subsidies.
