Overview
- Osinergmin, Peru’s energy regulator, denied TGP’s request to extend the deadline to back a force‑majeure claim tied to the March 1 Camisea pipeline disruption.
- Under the rules, the company had 15 business days to file the report, and any extra time must be justified by extraordinary, unforeseeable events caused by nature or by third‑party damage.
- The regulator said TGP did not show those exceptional conditions, so it refused to grant the extension.
- Osinergmin is running a technical investigation to find the cause and check whether TGP met its duties, and it says it will open sanction cases if it finds breaches.
- The deflagration in Megantoni, Cusco led the Energy and Mines Ministry to declare a gas‑supply emergency through March 14, which hit industries that rely on natural gas across Peru.
