Last Monday, the Energy Regulatory Commission of Mexico (CRE) approved the first retailing permit for liquid petroleum gas (LP) at Walmart cellars in Mexico.
“With the permit number LP/21394/EXP/BOD/2018, the Walmart commercial establishment is now authorized to sell the hydrocarbon to consumers in a portable way,” the institution stated.
The permit will have a 30 year validity, and it consists of the service delivery of portable LP gas through retailing cellars at self-service stores. The gas will be sold in portable recipients with a 10 kilogram capacity.
“The permit will allow for the LP gas offer to diversify by creating specific sales points in easily accessible locations,” CRE added.
The permit will have a direct impact on the lives of 4,000 families in the Ecatepec de Morelos, Tlanepantla de Baz, Cuautitlán Izcalli, Otumba, Nextlalpan, and Coacalco municipalities, in the State of Mexico. “Consumers will now have more payment options.”
