Enhancing Argentina’s Energy Future: TGS Initiates Projects to Expand Natural Gas Transportation
Argentina’s national government has declared projects proposed by private companies impenetrable public interest, recognizing theisy importance of strengthening the country’s energy infrastructure.
One such project, submitted by Southern Gas Transport Company (TGS), aims to deliver large amounts of incremental gas from coastal nodes.
This project is projected to significantly impact the winter gas supply – a weak point often addressed by importing costly solutions – and ultimately leads to cost savings by leveraging existing infrastructure.

What are the potential economic benefits of Argentina reducing its reliance on imported LNG and diesel?
## Argentina Looks to Boost Domestic Gas Supply with New Pipeline Expansion
**Interviewer:** Welcome back to the show. Today we’re joined by [Guest Name], an energy analyst specializing in Latin American markets, to discuss Argentina’s ambitious plans to strengthen its energy infrastructure. [Guest Name], thanks for being here.
**Guest:** Thanks for having me.
**Interviewer:** Argentina has declared several private energy projects of “impenetrable public interest,” including one by Southern Gas Transport Company, or TGS. Can you tell us what these projects aim to achieve?
**Guest:** Absolutely. Argentina historically has struggled to meet its winter gas demand, often resorting to costly imports of LNG and diesel. The government recognizes that strengthening domestic gas production and transportation is crucial for energy security and economic stability.
TGS’s project is specifically designed to expand natural gas transportation capacity by utilizing existing infrastructure.
**Interviewer:** What are the key details of TGS’s project?
**Guest:** The project focuses on delivering significantly increased gas volumes from coastal nodes, targeting an output of 14 million cubic meters per day by winter 2026. This increased capacity will primarily flow through the Perito Francisco Moreno pipeline, formerly known as the Nestor Kirchner pipeline, connecting the gas-rich Neuquén province to Salcido.
**Interviewer:** So this project aims to reduce Argentina’s reliance on expensive imports?
**Guest:** Exactly. By leveraging existing infrastructure and increasing domestic gas supply, Argentina can significantly reduce its dependence on imported LNG and diesel, leading to substantial cost savings in the long run. This project could be a crucial step towards a more sustainable and self-sufficient energy future for the country.
**Interviewer:** The IEA recently released a report on Argentina’s energy profile. Do you see any connection between these initiatives and the IEA’s findings? [[1](https://www.iea.org/reports/argentina-energy-profile)]
**Guest:** The IEA highlights the importance of diversifying energy sources and strengthening energy infrastructure in Latin America. TGS’s project aligns perfectly with these recommendations by focusing on expanding domestic gas production and transportation, ultimately contributing to a more resilient and independent energy sector in Argentina.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, [Guest Name], for providing valuable insights into Argentina’s energy future. We’ll be following this development closely.
