GAS NATURAL FENOSA, through its distribution company Gas Natural Distribución, has invested more than 340,000 euros in building a network of 3 kilometres to supply gas to Rialp (Lleida).

This week, some of the town's residents already have natural gas services. The distribution subsidiary of the energy company forecasts that around 200 customers could have natural gas by the start of 2015. In total, the investment by GAS NATURAL FENOSA will guarantee a natural gas supply to 507 homes in the municipality of Lleida.

Gas Natural Distribución in Lleida

At the moment, the company supplies natural gas to 45 towns in the province of Lleida, including eight capitals of comarcas (counties), and plans to invest around six million euros throughout Lleida over the course of this year. These investments are mainly allocated to building new networks and renovating existing infrastructure in order to improve security of supply in areas that already have the service and meet increasing demand efficiently.

Gas Natural Distribución plans to add over 3,760 new supply points during the year and build 23 kilometres of network in the province of Lleida.

The leading energy company in Catalonia

The energy company distributes natural gas to 360 municipalities in Catalonia. Thanks to an investment of nearly 67 million euros, it added 40,889 new supply points in Catalonia in 2013, bringing the total to over 2.16 million.

The penetration rate (supply points divided by the total number of households in Catalonia) stands at 54%, which is above the 27% average for Spain. This figure is due to the company's investment efforts over the last 20 years, during which time it has invested 1.4 billion euros to increase and improve its gas distribution business.
