The maximum prices of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) supplied by piping change from June 16, 2026. The Resolution of June 8, 2026 from the General Directorate of Energy Policy and Mines sets new values that apply immediately to all supplies pending execution from that date. If your company consumes piped LPG or distributes it, these are the figures that govern your billing from today.
What does this regulation establish?
The resolution sets the maximum selling prices before taxes of LPG supplied by piping. These prices are calculated based on international reference quotations and an official dollar/euro exchange rate. The specific values it establishes are:
| Concept | Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed term (end user) | 1.58 €/month |
| Variable term (end user) | 91.1032 c€/kg |
| Piped LPG distributor price for bulk | 76.3268 c€/kg |
The market parameters used for the calculation are as follows:
| Parameter | Applied value |
|---|---|
| Propane quotation | 572 $/Tm |
| Butane quotation | 622.20 $/Tm |
| Freight | 56.20 $/Tm |
| USD/EUR exchange rate | 1.167320 |
The prices do not include taxes: neither VAT, nor the Hydrocarbon Tax, nor other taxes that may apply depending on the territory. The regulation is clear regarding temporal application: it affects all supplies pending execution from June 16, 2026, and in invoices covering the tariff change, proportional proration is applied.
Economic and operational impact
For end consumers, the actual cost of each kilogram of piped LPG consumed will be 91.1032 c€ plus the monthly fixed term of 1.58 €, to which applicable taxes must be added (VAT and Hydrocarbon Tax). The total impact will depend on the monthly consumption volume of each installation.
For LPG distributors by piped bulk supply, the maximum price at which they can acquire or sell at that level of the supply chain is 76.3268 c€/kg. The difference between this price and the variable term of the end user (91.1032 c€/kg) represents the maximum margin of the piped distribution segment, which amounts to 14.7764 c€/kg.
From an operational perspective, the most relevant aspect is the proration rule: if an invoice covers a period that includes days before and after June 16, the distribution company must apply the old price to the previous days and the new price to the subsequent days. This requires reviewing billing systems to ensure correct calculation.
Who does it affect?
- End consumers of piped LPG: households, neighborhood associations, hotels, residences, industries and any installation supplied by piped LPG network.
- LPG distributors by piped bulk supply: companies that supply LPG through piped networks, which must apply the maximum price of 76.3268 c€/kg.
- Managers of collective installations: property administrators, industrial park managers or residential developments with centralized LPG supply.
- Purchasing departments and CFOs of companies with intensive piped LPG consumption, who must update their energy cost forecasts.
Practical example
Suppose a senior residence that consumes 500 kg of piped LPG per month. With the new prices, its invoice before taxes would be:
- Variable term: 500 kg × 91.1032 c€/kg = 455.52 €
- Fixed term: 1.58 €/month
- Total before taxes: 457.10 €/month
To this amount, the corresponding VAT and Hydrocarbon Tax must be added according to the territory. If the June invoice covers June 1-30, the first 15 days are invoiced at the previous price and the remaining 15 days at the new price of 91.1032 c€/kg, applying the proportional proration established in the regulation.
What should companies do now?
- Update billing systems: distributors must configure the new variable term (91.1032 c€/kg) and fixed term (1.58 €/month) with effective date June 16, 2026.
- Apply proration in transition invoices: any invoice covering days before and after June 16 must divide consumption proportionally and apply each tariff to the corresponding period.
- Review contracts with customers: verify that price review clauses allow passing on the new regulated tariff without contractual issues.
- Update energy cost forecasts: CFOs and purchasing managers must recalculate the energy budget with the new variable term of 91.1032 c€/kg.
- Verify applicable taxes in your territory: the prices set are before taxes; VAT, Hydrocarbon Tax or other territorial taxes must be added according to the tax regulations in force in each autonomous community or territory.
