Public information on the natural gas project in Riba-roja de Turia

The Territorial Service of Industry, Energy and Mines of Valencia, attached to the Third Vice-Presidency and Department of Environment, Infrastructure, Territory and Recovery of the Generalitat Valenciana, has opened the public information process for the granting of the prior administrative authorization for the projects to convert to natural gas the facilities that are currently supplied with LPG in Riba-roja de Turia (Valencia), as well as the decommissioning of the LPG supply plants in the municipality. The announcement is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Valencia number 194, corresponding to October 8, 2026, with the official reference 2026/11772 and file number CBREDE/2025/3/46. The decision directly affects the residents of the municipal district and opens the period for submitting allegations regarding the project.

The prior administrative authorization is the pronouncement issued by the regional administration before the gas facilities can be executed, and its submission to public information is the channel through which affected parties are heard and observations on the project are collected. In this case, the file is processed by the competent territorial service in matters of industry, energy, and mines of the province of Valencia, within the scope of the Generalitat Valenciana.

The purpose of the file is a change in the supply model: moving from LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) to natural gas, with the subsequent removal of the LPG plants that currently provide service in the municipality. The publication in the provincial gazette publicizes the procedure and establishes the framework in which interested parties can consult the documentation and formulate allegations.

What the project includes

• Conversion to natural gas of existing facilities that are currently supplied with LPG.
• Decommissioning of the LPG supply plants in the municipality.
• Territorial scope: the municipal district of Riba-roja de Turia (Valencia).

The deciding body and the file

The announcement is signed by the Territorial Service of Industry, Energy and Mines of Valencia, dependent on the Third Vice-Presidency and Department of Environment, Infrastructure, Territory and Recovery. The file is identified as CBREDE/2025/3/46 and is published with the reference 2026/11772 in the Official Gazette of the Province of Valencia on October 8, 2026, within the section of the Consell de la Generalitat Valenciana.

The processing therefore corresponds to the Valencian regional administration and not to the city council, as it concerns an authorization for gas facilities within the scope of industry and energy.

Affected parties and allegations

Public information is directed to the facility owners and the residents of the municipality, who will see the supply system replaced and the LPG plants removed. Any interested party may submit allegations during the period enabled by the announcement, before the prior administrative authorization is resolved.

The procedure affects a basic service of the municipality, therefore the observations of the residents and the facility owners are incorporated into the file before the resolution.

The transformation to natural gas and the decommissioning of the LPG plants modify the energy supply system of Riba-roja de Turia and condition the service received by its residents. The announcement published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Valencia opens the formal channel for those affected to express their views before the Generalitat Valenciana resolves the authorization.
