The Department of Energy, Hydrocarbons, and Mines announces the prices of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) that will be in effect in december 2025. The update of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) prices for december 2025 shows a cost structure that maintains stability for consumers, especially for households receiving targeted subsidies, one of the most important forms of support for family finances in the country.
According to the information presented, the 35-pound cylinder, one of the most popular in Salvadoran households, will cost US$14.75, while with the targeted subsidy, the cost is reduced to US$6.71, representing significant relief for household budgets.
The 25-pound cylinder will cost US$10.59, but those receiving subsidies will pay only US$2.55. In the case of the 20-pound cylinder, the price for consumers will be $8.55, and $0.51 for beneficiaries. The 10-pound cylinder, meanwhile, will cost US$4.41, but will be fully subsidized, leaving a final price of $0.00 for those who qualify for support.
The structure presented shows the impact that the subsidy has on protecting purchasing power, especially in a context where energy costs are an essential part of Salvadoran families’ monthly expenses. This monthly adjustment of LPG allows for monitoring market behavior and anticipating possible variations that may affect inflation or the operating costs of different productive sectors.
Access to gas at stable and subsidized prices contributes both to household finances and to the stability of the domestic market, reinforcing the importance of maintaining support mechanisms that reduce pressure on family budgets during periods of high energy consumption.
