Superservicios reaches deal to return $8.7 billion to gas users

The Superintendency of Public Services reached an agreement with Progasur to return $8.7 billion to more than 2.6 million natural gas users in eleven departments.

The agreement requires Progasur to apply the regulated discount rate of 10.94 % immediately. This corrects the higher charges applied since 2023.

The refund covers accumulated differences between July 1, 2023, and May 31, 2026. The resources will be returned through bills between June and December this year.

Benefited users are located in Antioquia, Boyacá, Caldas, Caquetá, Cauca, Cundinamarca, Huila, Nariño, Tolima, Valle del Cauca and Norte de Santander. Superservicios will monitor compliance with the measures.

The Superintendencia de Servicios Públicos Domiciliarios fined Enel Colombia $2.847 million for submitting elevated price offers in the Wholesale Energy Market that did not reflect its variable costs. This action sidelined the Betania plant from economic dispatch and caused an artificial rise in prices. President Gustavo Petro linked the issue to March inflation and demanded Enel refund the overcharge to users.

Enel Chile's general manager, Gianluca Palumbo, stated the company expects to receive about US$65 million from a total US$900 million debt consumers owe electricity distributors. The debt relates to the Valor Agregado de Distribución (VAD) for 2020-2024. Palumbo voiced confidence in a quick resolution, as the Ministry of Energy considers options like debt factoring.
