The governor-elect of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Douglas Ruas, advocated a new concession model for the distribution of piped gas in the state. At the 12th edition of Brazil GRI Infra & Energy, he also anticipated investments to expand service, particularly to industrial districts in the interior.
His government plan included proposals to reduce the impact of flooding, such as floodable parks and other nature-based solutions. Ruas identified fiscal balance as a priority and said he believed the state's finances would be in better shape in 2027.
