Argentina Restores Two-Season Gas Tariff Calendar, Defining Winter From May to September

The move aligns tariff pass-through with demand patterns after the Annual Uniform Price reduced intra-year price swings.

Overview

  • The Ministry of Economy’s Resolution 60/2026 was published Wednesday in the Official Gazette, putting the change into force.
  • Seasonal adjustments return to two periods: winter from May 1 to September 30 and summer from October 1 to April 30.
  • The Energy Secretariat says the 2018 alignment with semiannual tariff tables lost relevance under the Annual Uniform Price, shifting focus to demand increases from May.
  • Gas distributors must accept the modified scheme, which will be deemed approved upon their first tariff-transfer filing using the new calendar.
  • The measure amends Numeral 9.4.2.3 of the distribution license and reiterates Law 24.076’s requirement that cost variations pass through without gains or losses for distributors or transporters.
