Naturgy to Cut Piped Gas and GNV Tariffs in Rio Starting Feb. 1

The distributor says the new rates reflect a lower acquisition cost for Petrobras-supplied gas.

Overview

  • In Greater Rio, average reductions are 4.44% for households, 4.61% for commerce, 12.5% for GNV stations, and 11.63% for industry.
  • In the interior, cuts are 4.45% for residential users, 5.21% for commercial customers, 9.84% for GNV stations, and 10.19% for industrial consumers.
  • Roughly 1 million customers across residential, commercial, industrial, and vehicle-fuel segments are expected to benefit.
  • Bottled LPG is excluded from the change because it follows a separate adjustment mechanism.
  • Rio’s extensive GNV market—about 1.7 million converted vehicles and more than 700 stations—heightens the impact, with the new rates reflected automatically on February bills.
