Limagas General Manager Warns of Risks of Dependence on LPG Supply in the Country

Within the framework of the XV Peru GLP 2026 Conference, the general manager of Limagas GLP, Ignacio Schneider, addressed the challenges facing the supply of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) in the country and warned about the risks associated with the high concentration of supply.

During his remarks, the executive noted that the current situation highlights the need to strengthen the system’s energy security. “About 70% of the LPG comes directly from Camisea. This can be seen as a positive thing since it is a domestic resource, but it also poses a significant risk if we do not have greater storage capacity and alternative supply sources,” he told authorities and energy sector experts.

Along those lines, Schneider stated that recent situations demonstrate the system's vulnerability when there is a strong dependence on a single supply source. “The situation we are experiencing shows how risky it is to depend so much on a single supply source,” he maintained.

The executive pointed out that having clear rules and adequate investment conditions are key to strengthening the sector's infrastructure, particularly in storage and logistics, which would allow for a more resilient response to events affecting supply.

He also highlighted the importance of strengthening coordination among the various state entities linked to the energy sector. In this regard, he pointed out that there is a large amount of available information, but that it still needs to be better utilized through technological tools that allow data sharing between institutions and improve oversight processes.

Schneider also highlighted the importance of advancing mechanisms that allow for improved traceability in the LPG distribution chain, which would contribute to reinforcing market safety standards.

The 15th Peru LPG 2026 Conference brought together representatives from the public and private sectors to analyze the main regulatory, logistical, and structural challenges of the LPG market in Peru.
