Transportadora de Gas del Norte

Transportadora de Gas del Norte S.A. (TGN) is an Argentine energy company specialised in the high-pressure transmission of natural gas through pipelines. It was created in 1992 as part of the privatisation of the state gas monopoly Gas del Estado, a process that restructured Argentina's energy sector and opened gas transmission to private concessionaires. Since its inception, TGN has focused on building a solid and sustainable energy future for Argentina and the region, and in 2023 it celebrated its 30th anniversary. TGN operates one of the largest gas pipeline systems in South America. According to the company, its network comprises more than 11,300 kilometres of pipelines in operation, 22 compressor stations and 393,700 HP of installed power. The system is structured around two main axes, the Gasoducto Norte and the Gasoducto Centro Oeste, and reaches 17 Argentine provinces. It transports gas from the Noroeste and Neuquina basins, the Escobar regasification terminal and, through third parties, from the Austral Basin. TGN states that it is responsible for transporting 40% of the natural gas injected into Argentina's main pipelines, representing about 20% of the national energy grid, and that it provides an essential service 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Beyond domestic transmission, TGN has interconnections with Chile, Brazil, Bolivia and Uruguay, facilitating regional natural gas exchanges and supporting the integration of South American gas markets. Its strategic geographic location allows it to link production basins to consumption centres and export points. The company is listed on the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange and is subject to the supervision of the Comisión Nacional de Valores (CNV). Its shareholding is dominated by Gasinvest S.A., which holds a majority stake. Gas transmission in Argentina is governed by Law No. 24,076, which establishes a regulatory framework based on concessions and public service obligations, with ENARGAS overseeing tariffs, service quality and investments. TGN's financial performance reflects the evolution of the regulatory framework and Argentina's macroeconomic context. The 2001–2002 economic crisis led to a freeze on tariffs and a lasting deterioration in the sector's profitability; from the 2010s, gradual tariff adjustments were introduced to restore economic balance. The company emphasises quality and safety, community well-being and environmental protection as its three main pillars, and operates under industry regulations and national and international best practices. It also maintains a Transparent Line, a confidential channel for reporting irregularities, fraud or corruption, available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Transportadora de Gas del Norte S.A. (TGN) was created in 1992 following the privatisation of Gas del Estado, the state-owned gas company, as part of the structural reforms of Argentina's energy sector. This reform was part of a broader process of liberalisation of public services in Latin America during the 1990s. Since its inception, TGN has focused on a single purpose: to build a solid and sustainable energy future for all the people in Argentina and the region. The company's history spans more than 30 years of connections. Over time, TGN doubled its power and tripled its reach: from operating 12 compressor stations to 22, and from 4,100 km of pipelines to 11,256 km. In 2023, TGN celebrated its 30th anniversary with stories from its employees and members of the value chain, whom the company considers the true protagonists of its history. The 2001–2002 Argentine economic crisis led to a freeze on tariffs and a lasting deterioration in the profitability of the gas transmission sector. Tariffs remained frozen for more than a decade, reducing the investment capacity of companies in the sector. From the 2010s, gradual tariff adjustments were introduced to restore economic balance, in a context of transition towards a more competitive and less subsidised energy market. TGN is listed on the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange and is subject to the control of the Comisión Nacional de Valores (CNV). Its shareholding is dominated by Gasinvest S.A., which holds a majority stake. The company operates within a regulatory framework defined by Argentina's natural gas law (Law No. 24,076), which establishes a regulation based on concessions and public service obligations, supervised by ENARGAS. Among the main regulatory norms are ENARGAS Resolution No. 72/2017 and Resolution No. 4362/2017. Today, TGN operates a network of more than 11,300 kilometres of pipelines in operation, with 22 compressor stations and 393,700 HP of power, covering 17 Argentine provinces. The system is structured around two main axes: the Gasoducto Norte and the Gasoducto Centro Oeste. These infrastructures transport gas from production zones to urban and industrial centres. TGN also has interconnections with Chile, Brazil, Bolivia and Uruguay, facilitating regional natural gas exchanges. The company states that it transports 40% of the natural gas injected into the main pipelines in Argentina, representing 20% of the energy grid, and provides an essential service 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It focuses on quality and safety, the well-being of communities and protection of the environment, complying with industry regulations and national and international best practices.
