Peruvian gas pipeline to be fixed this weekend, President Balcazar says

Peruvian President Jose Balcazar said on Tuesday that repairs to a critical gas pipeline should be finished on Friday, allowing natural gas supply to normalize this weekend.

Peru's Transportadora de Gas (TGP) has been working to repair the pipeline in Cusco's Megantoni district since the beginning of the month, when its rupture caused disruptions to the country's natural gas supply.

During a press conference, Balcazar added that the company expects natural gas supply to reopen on Saturday and for distribution to be normalized on Sunday.
