The concession of natural gas services in Brazil is regulated by the Federal Constitution, the Concessions Law (Law No. 8,987/1995) and the Gas Law (Law No. 14,134/2021), which regulates the transportation and commercialization of natural gas. With the approval of the New Gas Law (Law No. 14,134/2021), the sector underwent significant changes, aiming to promote competition and attract new private investments. The legislation seeks to guarantee the economic-financial balance of contracts, free access to infrastructure and reasonable tariffs. The gas distribution service is the responsibility of the States, and supervision is carried out by regulatory agencies. Recent jurisprudence from the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) has reaffirmed the need for efficiency and continuity in service, in addition to ensuring respect for consumer rights and balance between concessionaires and the granting authority. The evolution of the gas regulatory framework is an important step towards the country’s sustainable and energy development.
