Gas supply restored in Buenos Aires neighborhood after technical issue

A technical glitch temporarily disrupted gas service in the Núñez neighborhood of Buenos Aires, causing concern among residents. Metrogas, the responsible company, confirmed the issue was resolved and service was being restored meter by meter, with full normalization anticipated by midday.

While the immediate problem is being addressed, the article also notes that new gas tariffs approved by the National Gas Regulatory Entity (Enargas) are set to take effect on May 1, 2026. These new rates, detailed in Resolution 463/2026, will apply to Metrogas's service area and are part of a broader energy sector adjustment.

The issue is resolved and they are already working to restore the service, which is done meter by meter. It takes a few hours, but it will be resolved during the day.

The new tariff structure will vary based on consumption levels and user categories. For unsubsidized residential users, monthly fixed charges will range from approximately ARS 3,976.22 for the lowest consumption tier (R1) in the city of Buenos Aires to ARS 94,995.74 for the highest tier (R4) in the capital, with different rates applying in the province. This adjustment reflects the ongoing reconfiguration of the natural gas transport system and energy price updates.

More than half of the affected users are already recovering service, and we estimate that everything will be normalized before noon.
