Resumen
The “Memorandum of understanding for the development of gas in Spain” was signed in 1985 with the aim of promoting the implementation of natural gas. As a result, Gas Andalucía S.A. was founded in 1987, with a capital of 1 billion pesetas. The company was in charge of bringing natural gas to the Southern region of Spain (Regional Government of Andalusia). It aims at managing the production and supply of combustible gases, gas appliances and customer technical assistance. This study analyses the main variables of Gas Andalucía (shareholders, profits, customers, gas sales, distribution network, etc.). It also examines how manufactured gas was replaced with natural gas and how this energy was introduced between 1987 and 2001, a period in which the company carried out its activities in a regulated market.
