Naturgas, a major natural gas distributor in Colombia, has issued a formal statement rejecting claims that natural gas prices are set to rise.
The company's president, Luz Stella Murgas, led the clarification to correct what the firm described as inaccurate information circulating in the media.
The denial follows recent public comments by Didier Builes, the general manager of Colgas, another key player in the Colombian gas distribution market.
Builes had suggested in interviews that price increases were imminent, sparking speculation about broader tariff adjustments across the sector.
Naturgas moved quickly to distance itself from those projections, emphasizing that no such changes have been authorized or implemented by the company.
This dispute highlights the sensitivity of energy pricing in Colombia, where household and industrial consumers are closely watching for signs of inflationary pressure.
