The Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM) is collaborating with the Regional Government of Ayacucho to make the widespread adoption of natural gas project viable in this region, advance in the development of the Gasoducto del Sur and implement programs that allow the population to have energy at a lower price.
With this objective, the Vice Minister of Hydrocarbons of the MINEM Enrique Bisetti Solari met with the Regional Governor of Ayacuchano Wilfredo Oscorima Núñez and ratified the commitment of the administration of Minister Oscar Vera Gargurevich to make the Integrated Gas Transportation System – Southern Zone of Peru a reality.
