October LPG Domestic Supply Price Frozen "Considering Consumer Burden"

The domestic liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) industry has decided to freeze LPG supply prices for October.

According to the industry on the 30th, SK Gas set the propane price at 1,299.81 KRW per kilogram and the butane price at 927.21 KRW per liter for October. This is the same level as in September.

E1 also set the household and commercial propane price for September at 1,300.25 KRW per kilogram, the industrial propane price at 1,306.85 KRW per kilogram, and froze the butane price at 927.79 KRW per liter.

E1 stated, "Despite the rise in international LPG prices and accumulated unreflected price increases, we decided to freeze prices considering the reduction of consumer burden."

Previously, SK Gas and E1 froze domestic LPG supply prices for eight months starting from December last year, then raised prices by 30 to 60 KRW per kilogram or liter in August.
