Overview
- Energy Minister Ángelo Alfaro said the government cannot guarantee Transportadora de Gas del Perú’s roughly 14‑day repair timeline for the Megantoni deflagration site.
- The state emergency order keeps available gas for households, essential commerce and mass transit that runs solely on GNV, excluding taxis and other light vehicles with alternative fuels.
- Distributor Cálidda said its network is not the source of the failure and reported ongoing coordination with TGP and regulators while urging prudent residential and commercial consumption.
- Taxi unions reported long queues and scarcity at GNV stations in Lima and Callao and are weighing a strike while asking Minem for a temporary supply plan for drivers.
- Prosecutors in La Convención–Cusco opened urgent proceedings and an environmental probe at the valve station, as the crisis committee coordinates repairs and COES plans power generation with alternate fuels; officials also expect GLP supply to remain steady.
