The most important savings will be for industries and
agriculture.
The Spanish company Fenosa has won the bid to expand distribution of natural gas in central and south Sinaloa to 1.5 million inhabitants.
On Friday, the Energy Regulatory Commission gave the go-ahead to the company to distribute natural gas in Culiacán, Elota, Mazatlán and Navolato.
In October last year Fenosa also won the bid to for distribution in southern Sonora and northern Sinaloa towns of Ahome, Choix, El Fuerte, Guasave and Salvador Alvarado.
Coordinator for Sinaloa Strategic Projects, Francisco Labastida Gómez de la Torre, estimated the project would require 300 million pesos.
Speaking to media, he said Sinaloans will now use natural gas in place of LP gas and instead of paying 480 pesos to fill a 30 liter tank, he estimates the price will decrease by 30 or 40 percent.
This represents an important savings for the general population, he continued, but the most important is the savings for industries and the potential for attracting more agricultural industries.
He stated in theory Fenosa will begin investing this year so that at the end of the year, or early next year, distribution will begin. Obviously, said Gómez de la Torre, the first city to receive natural gas will be Los Mochis and eventually it will be piped to other large cities in Sinaloa.
