Minem: wholesale LPG-G for taps may be sold as LPG-E for domestic use

LPG arrives by boat from Ica to Lima. Every time there are abnormal waves, there is nothing the government can do, beyond issuing emergency measures to redistribute the fuel between taps and housewives, as is the case in this case.

He Ministry of Energy and Mines (Minem) provided that all liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) bottling plants can use their stock intended for sale in bulk (LPG-G) for commercialization in packaged domestic use (LPG-E), due to the shortage reported in recent hours due to abnormal waves.

Through ministerial resolution No. 208-2023-MINEM/DM, it is established that all sale of LPG-G as LPG-E must be made through the Order Control System – SCOP, and only at the supply plant level. The permit will be valid for 7 calendar days.

“Some companies have available volumes of LPG-G and not LPG-E, which does not allow them to meet the requirements of market agents as they cannot regularly dispatch the requested product,” the document states.

According to the General Directorate of Hydrocarbons (DGH), the measure is adopted “taking into account that the termination of the emergency situation that has arisen is subject to the opening of ports so that tankers can unload fuel.”

It should be noted that LPG is only one, but it is sold in our country in two forms: in bulk (for wholesale, as in taps) and packaged (kitchen ball). The distinction is made to offer them with two different prices in favor of the version used in homes.

The LPG-E is in the Stabilization Fund (FEPC) to avoid greater volatility in its price, but only until May 26. Minem has announced that he will extend his stay, but it has not yet become official.
