The Energy and Gas Regulation Commission (Creg) has opened a regulatory sandbox to test changes in the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) market before adopting definitive norms. The agency invited guilds, companies, public sector, and regional leaders to submit comments until April 17. The pilot aims to analyze more flexible operational schemes with guarantees of security and traceability.
The Creg announced the launch of a pilot to evaluate adjustments in the Liquefied Petroleum Gas market through a regulatory sandbox that allows tests prior to definitive normative changes.
"This project will receive comments through our official channels until next April 17. We expect massive participation from the sector, as these contributions will allow us to build a more solid pilot," said Ángela Álvarez, commissioned expert at Creg.
The scheme aims to analyze the performance of a more flexible operational model, ensuring conditions of security, traceability, and monitoring of the cylinder fleet. The proposal will study key aspects such as the impact of interchangeability on service access, logistical efficiency in distribution, cylinder replenishment times, use of available fleet, competitive market functioning, and operational viability.
The Commission invited guilds, companies, the public sector, regional leaders, and other interested parties to review the project and provide perspectives to build a more efficient model. "We hope this exercise will also translate, in the medium term, into improvements for users, such as more timely cylinder replenishment and greater flexibility in service operation," Álvarez concluded.
Antonio Jiménez Rivera is the executive director of Creg.
