Gas Natural Fenosa to supply gas to Girona
Gas Natural Fenosa, through its distributor Gas Natural Distribución, will invest €1.7 million to supply gas to the town of Castelló d'Empúries in Empuriabrava (Girona).
The power company has already started building the 9.3 km network, which will service 5900 households in the first year.
LNG plant
Castelló d'Empúries Mayor, Xavier M. Sanllehí, and Girona Delegate for Gas Natural Distribución, Joan Arimany, presented the gasification project, which includes installing an LNG plant and supplying the first homes and businesses in Empuriabrava starting in September.
Catalan network
The power company distributes natural gas to 360 municipalities in Catalonia. Thanks to an investment of nearly €67 million, it added 40 889 new supply points to the Catalan network in 2013, bringing the total to 2.16 million. The penetration rate (supply points divided by the total number of households in Catalonia) is 54%, which is above the 27% average for Spain thanks to the company's investment efforts over the last 20 years, during which time it has invested €1.4 billion to increase and improve its gas distribution business.
Gas investment
Gas Natural Distribución invested €7.6 million in the Girona region in 2013. These investments mainly went on the construction of new networks and renewing and improving the existing network.
