Re: gas butano
Therefore 1 cubic metre = 25.7 kWh, which costs 5€, or 0,20€ per kWh - approximately the same as electricity.
More expensive than mains natural gas in the UK but perhaps not quite as bad as you first thought?

Probably shipped in by gas tankers or via a pipeline from Morocco to Spain.

) for the time being. The north starts where the centre finishes - at about Aveiro). Here's a map of the existing network.

1 cubic metre = 1.89 kgs of LPG and 1 kg of LPG = 13.6 kWh approx.
Therefore 1 cubic metre = 25.7 kWh, which costs 5€, or 0,20€ per kWh - approximately the same as electricity.

Re: gas butano
To rub salt in the wounds, if you check the Galp website for natural gas pricing, where it’s available, only up north, they show prices similar to the UK. So no wonder portuguese houses are so cold, no-one can afford to heat them. If Portugal had a nationwide natural gas system a lot more people could afford to heat their homes but I guess that will never happen.
A new house was built up the hill behind my place, it's serviced by a dirt road ,& how they got permission for it is any ones guess
But ,They had too by Law have a Gas Meter built into the boundary wall & a special gas pipe inside a another pipe to protect it that ended up where a boiler could / would be situated inside the house.
Fact :- this house is just under a kilometre from a tarmac road & as there is no obvious plan in sight to bring mains Gas even to the nearest village, its obvious this is just another useless expense !
+ They also by Law had to have 2 PT Telephone jack's in each & every room ,except the bathrooms, this cost them 540.00.
The wireless coverage in this area is second to none !!!!
