TL;DR
- The CREG has reversed the 2023 WACC rate increase, ordering the return of over $150 billion to natural gas users.
- The previous WACC increase from 10.94% to 11.88% led to higher transport charges on gas bills.
- Millions of residential and commercial users will receive reimbursements.
- Transport companies like TGI and Promigas were affected by the adjustment.
- The Ministry of Mines and Energy stated the decision defends users and aims to provide fair and transparent tariffs.
- The CREG will define the specific procedures and timeline for the refunds.
