"Since 1988 the participation of SODENA in Gas Navarra, S.A. has made a significant contribution to the development and firm consolidation of this business project, which represents a guarantee for Navarre of energy supplies that are cleaner and less polluting than fossil-based fuels.

The availability of supplies in most municipalities (coverage of 82%), and the good reception its use has had among the population and economic agents in Navarre have meant that the level of gasification in the region is up with the highest in Spain and the rest of the European Union. It represents 24% of primary energy consumption in Navarre".
