Overview

  • Enargas formalized new gas distribution tables effective January 1, 2026 via Resolutions 1009/2025 and 1012/2025, yielding roughly 2.4–2.5% average increases for Metrogas and Naturgy in the AMBA, driven by updated PIST values, an RQT tranche, temporary investment assets and a shift to monthly adjustments.
  • Concrete values were published for key categories, including Metrogas R1 at $3,514.29 in Buenos Aires City and $4,058.43 in the conurbano, and Naturgy R1 at $2,876.99 in the northern suburbs, with proration applied if billing periods straddle the changeover.
  • Residential Levels 2 and 3 keep current bonifications for this update, while the proposed SEF would restrict subsidies to households below three times the Canasta Básica Total, currently reported at $3,771,987.09 in monthly total household income.
  • Parallel moves set an average 2.5% adjustment for January electricity bills and authorized AySA water and sewer increases of 4% per month from January through April 2026 under ERAS Resolution 53/2025, citing a 21.05% 2025 revenue shortfall and a return to formula updates from May.
  • This update may be the last under the current regulators as a decree foresees the merger of Enargas and ENRE into the new Enrge, which is expected to begin operating in early January 2026 if the timeline is met.
