The Quantum natural gas team has been taking part since 2007 in the Tariff Review of 5 natural gas distributors in Mexico.
The Natural Gas Distribution Tariff Calculation in Mexico included comprehensive support to the companies within the Grupo Gas Natural during the complete tariff review process in 5 of the 7 geographical zones where it works, delivering the distribution service within this country (Distrito Federal, Monterrey, Saltillo, Nuevo Laredo and Toluca).
In July 2007, the Group had 1,113,713 customers and a distribution network of nearly 15,000 kilometers.
The team, made up of Quantum and Gas Natural technicians, worked to develop 5 tariff models which, applying two-part tariffs, enabled the tariff chart proposal to be determined for the 2008-2012 period in each of the 5 above-mentioned services. |

A financial model was also developed, integrated with the tariff model, for the purposes of decision-making.
The calculation engine used was Analytica, a tool that enables models to be developed with a high level of flexibility and transparency, using flow diagrams and intelligent matrixes for handing multidimensional data.
Excel was used for the presentation of output data and reports.
During the advice and support period to the Group in Mexico, a Seminar was also run on "Tariff and Incentive Calculation", in which Mario Damonte took part, attended by executives from Gas Natural and the Energy Regulation Commission (CRE).
