Within the framework of the Gas Pipeline Plan for Development, the government of the Province of Santa Fe awarded three new energy infrastructure projects that consolidate a historic investment for the productive interior. This Friday will be signed the awarding of the Gas Pipeline Provincial Route 14 - 17s (section that connects Fuentes, Coronel Arnold, Muñoz, Arminda and Villa Mugueta). On Tuesday the same was done with the Sudoeste Lechero Gas Pipeline (section that connects San Guillermo, Villa Trinidad and Arrufó) and on Saturday with the one corresponding to the Route N°34 (the section that connects Luis Palacios and Lucio V. López).
Sustainability and equity
The five works are part of a wider project of 610 kilometres distributed in 6 gas pipelines -5 executed by the Government of Santa Fe and 1 by Litoral Gas-, with an investment of more than 196 billion pesos, which will benefit more than 120,000 inhabitants, 250 industries and 45 localities. These works will be distributed throughout the province, in a bid to reduce asymmetries and generate the necessary conditions for rooting, production and employment.
The implementation of these projects reflects a vision of the future based on sustainability and equity. "By prioritising works that reach both urban and rural areas, we promote a balanced development that reduces inequalities and strengthens the social fabric. Gas pipelines are not just infrastructure; they are a commitment to a more prosperous and connected future for all the inhabitants of Santa Fe", said Rodolfo Giacosa, president of Enerfe.
Provincial Route 20: connecting communities
The Ruta Provincial 20 gas pipeline, with an investment of 7,830 million pesos, will reach more than 19,000 inhabitants of towns in the Belgrano and San Martín departments, such as Tortugas, Montes de Oca, Bouquet and María Susana. The work will be carried out by the joint venture Peitel SA-Rovial SAl.
