JACKSON RESPONSES TO CRITICISM
The current head of Social Development and Family was consulted regarding the costs of this program, ensuring that the execution of the pilot that benefited 3,157 families, belonging to the 40% most vulnerable of the Social Registry of Homes, “did not get the results that were financially sustainable.”
In view of the foregoing, ENAP and the Ministry of Energy opted to carry out a “change of strategy” through “an agreement “with retailers to reach end users with low prices, without jeopardizing the financial sustainability of the company”Jackson explained.
Likewise, he said that these changes “are seen by the Energy portfolio”, but he also explained that these modifications were made in december given that “reviewed that the pilot did not make the strategy sustainable and maintain the comparative advantages that ENAP has, both as a wholesaler and as a retailer”.
WHAT IS THE GAS PROGRAM FOR CHILE?
This Wednesday ENAP officially launched the ‘Gas for Chile’ program that launches the state-owned company to compete in the domestic liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) market through distributors Gasnet, Glen Energy, Suma Gas and HN, adding another three new ones in the coming days.
With them it seeks to introduce 60,000 new cylinders to the system for communes located in the regions of O’Higgins, Maule and Biobío. It is also planned to reach Temuco, Padre Las Casas in La Araucanía and Chillán in Ñuble.
In the pilot also promised to deliver these products at 35% less than the market value for the most vulnerable familiesthat is, values that oscillated between $15,056 and the $12,367.
