Lima Gas

What Lima Gas does

Lima Gas S.A. is a privately held Peruvian energy distribution company founded in 1961, headquartered in Calle Bernini 149, San Borja, Lima, and operating as a subsidiary of the LipiAndes energy conglomerate (active in Peru, Chile and Colombia). The company distributes Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG / GLP) and Natural Gas — both compressed (GNC) and liquefied (GNL) — through three product lines: bottled gas in cylinders (GLP Envasado), bulk gas delivered to on-site tanks (GLP Granel), and natural gas for industrial and transport use. Underpinning the operation is a physical infrastructure of 12 supply plants distributed across Peru (Piura, Chiclayo, Trujillo, Ventanilla, Lurín, Ica, Nasca, Cusco, Arequipa, Juliaca, Mala, Tacna), complemented by an authorized distributor network and a project pipeline for sustainable transport via the EVA Energy sub-brand.

The business serves two primary segments. Residential consumers (Hogar) — over 2 million households as claimed — order via call center (01-634-0000), WhatsApp, mobile app (iOS/Android), and authorized distributors, receiving either cylinder-based or bulk LPG for cooking and heating. Business customers (Empresa) — over 1,000 enterprises — are served by named regional account executives organized by geographic zone (Centro, Norte, Sur, Norte Chico) and can purchase bottled, bulk, and natural gas for industrial processes, commercial cooking, heating, and power generation. Pricing is quote-based, varies by volume, product type, and delivery zone, and is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is also expanding into the cargo transport vertical via EVA Energy, which markets natural gas as a lower-emission fuel (30% less CO2 vs. diesel/coal/firewood) at claimed 50% cost savings vs. alternatives.

The revenue model is fundamentally transactional: hardware sales of cylinders, transaction-fee-style per-volume billing for bulk LPG, and volume-based industrial contracts for natural gas. The company combines a sales-led enterprise motion (dedicated regional executives, mid-funnel relationship management) with a product-led growth motion for residential customers (self-serve app and WhatsApp ordering). Lima Gas is regulated by Peruvian authorities, holds ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 certifications across core plants, and has earned the 2nd Star in the Huella de Carbono Perú program from MINAM. It has been ranked #1 in the CX Index Gas Category for three consecutive years (2023-2025) by Centrum PUCP, Datum Internacional and XCustomer Group. Headcount is reported in the 251-500 range; revenue is not publicly disclosed.
