From Monday, consumers using natural gas will pay charges up to 10% lower. The reduction in all ranges of consumption, approved yesterday by Agenersa (Regulatory Agency for Energy and Sanitation of the State of Rio de Janeiro), will impact, mainly in the prices of CNG jobs and industries. In the case of residential gas, the drop can be noted in accounts that mature in March. In pumps, the transfer will be immediate.

To get an idea of the reduction, to resellers of CNG, the price drop 10.37%. The tariff approved in January is $ 1.0259. In February, will pay $ 0.9295 for the cubic meter. Those industries will benefit with reductions ranging from 3.43% to 10.38% for those with consumption of more than 3 million cubic meters of natural gas, which paid U.S. $ 1.0254 before and will disburse $ 0, 9290. For households that consume up to seven cubic meters per month, the drop will be 3.52%. The price of the meter will drop to U.S. $ 2.8610 to $ 2.7636.

Reducing the price of gas was expected by Sindirepa, which represents the converter since last year, when the new values offered by CEG and CEG Rio were settled with Petrobras. In the agreement, it was agreed that there would be a variation of quarterly prices. Since then, only the values rose. This is the first time that natural gas is cheaper.

OIL AND DOLLAR

According to Celso Mattos, executive director of Sindirepa, the drop in oil pressured the reduction of values. "As the formula is based on the price of the dollar and oil, the fall could be even greater if the U.S. currency was at low," said Mattos. In pumps, the price of CNG should fall at least 6%, calculate the principal. Today, the average price of the meter is R $ 1.50. With the reduction, must fall to $ 1.41.

PRICES MUST DOWNLOAD TO 17% OVER YEAR

The CNG is now the fuel that brings more benefits to consumers, according to the union of the converter. "Prices should fall from 15% to 17% by December," Celso bet Mattos, executive director of the entity. Among the advantages of CNG, is the economy - the meter allows the vehicle to run from 13 km to 13.5 km. The reduction of 75% in the price of IPVA is another great attraction.

According to Márcio Paschoal, vice president of ABGNV (Brazilian Association of Natural Gas vehicle), the economy with the installation of the kit-gas reaches R $ 500 per month. Simulation shows that, with 100 km run with CNG, the cost is $ 11.62 (U.S. $ 1.51 a cubic meter). No alcohol, spending up to U.S. $ 23.28 (U.S. $ 1.63 a liter). In gasoline, the cost is $ 21.25 (U.S. $ 2.55 a liter). The taxi driver Edson Brito, 40 years, celebrates the reduction in the price: "It will help considerably."
