Gas Natural SDG : Andalucía and AEFO to promote expansion of natural gas in province of Malaga

• The agreement, which will benefit 230 companies in Malaga, will foster the access of installation companies to the company's public tender process.

The President of the Provincial Association of Installation Companies in Malaga (AEFO), Miguel Ángel López, and the Delegate in Malaga for Gas Natural Andalucía, Carlos Arrabal, signed a partnership agreement to promote the access of 230 small- and medium-sized installation companies to the public tender process of the distribution company and increase the number of natural gas supply points.

Gas Natural Andalucía launches a public tender aimed at installation companies and professionals every year and, under this agreement with AEFO, it seeks to reach as many people as possible via local tradesmen and installation company associations.

To meet their goals, this year Gas Natural Andalucía and AEFO will provide training sessions in which they will inform installers of the main new developments and technical questions relating to natural gas, and the present situation and ongoing expansion of its distribution.

Significant presence in Malaga

Gas Natural Andalucía, the distribution subsidiary of GAS NATURAL FENOSA in this region of Spain, invested 14.2 million euros in the province of Malaga last year (an increase of 21% on 2014) to continue its infrastructure expansion and development plan, as well as improve its networks and the services it provides.

In 2015, the company increased its supply points in the province by almost 5,000 and expanded its distribution network by 40 kilometres to a total of 1,200. Thanks to this infrastructure, over 260,000 residents of Malaga in 14 towns can enjoy this energy. Malaga is consolidating its position as the second-largest province in the region in terms of the number of natural gas users.
