According to warnings from the UP bloc in Nueuquén, gas prices will rise by more than 30% and may affect the most vulnerable sectors.
The block of provincial deputies of Union for the Homeland of Neuquen submitted a draft declaration against the decision of the National Energy Secretariat to eliminate the price cap on the sale of gas cylinders.
The initiative warns of the consequences that the new price could have for the population without access to a natural gas network and requests the provincial Executive Branch to adopt measures that guarantee a reasonable price for the most vulnerable households.
According to details from the Neuquén UP, the project bases its position on Resolution 216, issued by the national body, which implies a 31.8% increase in the price of a 10-kilogram bottle, bringing its value to $8,500.
He also points out that prices in the interior of Neuquén are even higher: In the southern neighborhoods of Neuquén, the cost per cylinder varies between $11,000 and $15,000, while in Chos Malal it reaches $20,000, and in Bajada del Agrio, close to $25,000.
“Javier Milei’s serious mistake in releasing the price cap on gas cylinders”assured the president of the bloc, Dario Martinez“This decision will directly affect those who are already in a precarious situation due to not having access to gas from the grid. It is unacceptable that in a province that leads in gas production, so many families continue without this essential service,” added the former Secretary of Energy of the Nation.

In addition, Deputy Martinez stressed that “Securing the natural gas network should be an absolute priority for the provincial government. All Neuquén residents deserve to be first-class citizens, wherever they live.”
The project was submitted by the Reception Desk on August 23, with the signatures of the legislators Dario Martinez, Dario Peralta and Lorena Parrilli (UxP).
