ARCHIVED - Price of gas canisters in Spain drops by 5 per cent
Butane cylinders across Spain will cost just 16.79 euros from this week
The cost of butane has taken another welcome dip in the latest price revision and will be set at a maximum of 16.79 euros from Tuesday March 21, which is a 5% reduction on the current figure.
The retail price of liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) in cylinders of 8 to 20 kilos, which are the traditional butane canisters used in most homes in Spain, is reviewed bimonthly and the sale cost is dependent on the strength of the euro. In this month’s case, the euro has appreciated 3.3% on the dollar. Furthermore, freight prices have dropped by 32.9% in recent weeks compared to the price of raw materials, which have only risen by 14.8%.
Gas has fluctuated dramatically since the war in Ukraine began, but in Spain the price of this energy source is only allowed to go up or down by a maximum of 5% in each review to maintain stability in the market. In addition, the government introduced a series of crisis measures last June to cushion the financial impact of the conflict, one of which states that standard butane cylinders can be retailed at a maximum price of 19.55 euros.
This ceiling was actually reached back on September 19 but since then, gas has registered a price drop of 14.12%.
Bottled LPG is a mixture of hydrocarbons, mainly composed of butane, which serves as an alternative to natural gas and is most widely used in towns and urbanisations that do not have a connection to the natural gas network.
The Spanish government estimates that around 64.5 million LPG canisters are consumed annually although it is an energy source in decline, with demand falling by more than 25% between 2010 and 2021.

What services to do they offer?
- Gas Central Heating
CHM installs gas central heating with UK-style, thermostat-controlled convection radiators for maximum efficiency. These panel radiators, which have copper pipework, are not sectional, making them less likely to leak in the future. - Gas Water Heating
Save hundreds of euros a year on your electricity bills with CHM by switching to gas water heating! With the alarming increase in the cost of electricity in Spain, it make sense to get instant savings with an easy-to-install, gas-based water heating system. - Oil Central Heating
They can also provide you with the same kind of UK-style convection radiators but using oil-fired central heating so you can “pay as you go”, and only pay for the hot water and heating you use. All their oil tanks – Baxi Roca, combination boilers – are double skinned, so even if there is a leak in the internal tank, it is held by the second skin. We install. - Backup Water Tanks
Ensure you never run out of water by installing a fully pumped water deposit system in your home – just choose the size and type that suits your needs! - Air Conditioning
Get domestic and commercial air conditioning with inverter technology to cool, heat and even dehumidify your property. All the air conditioning units provided by CHM come with a two-year warranty and a backup service from manufacturer Baxi. - Leak Detection and Repair
Contact CHM to pinpoint the source of water leaks quickly and securely, whether inside or out, and get it repaired in the shortest time possible.
…and much more!
