In August 2026, the Agency for Safety, Energy, and the Environment (ASEA) will begin verifying 4,310 gas stations and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) stations across all 32 federal entities, marking the first stage of the National Ordering Program for Gasoline and Liquefied Petroleum Gas Facilities (PRONAGAS) 2026-2030. The inspection schedule, published by the agency on July 23, stages reviews by state through May 2028.
PRONAGAS 2026-2030 is the instrument through which ASEA brings order to a sector spanning thousands of retail points nationwide, operating under varying levels of environmental and industrial safety compliance. The verification applies equally to small local permit holders and large national chains, addressing the need to standardize operating conditions across a market present in all 32 federal entities.
The program establishes three verification tracks: physical inspection at facilities, documentary oversight at central offices, and ordering through environmental impact assessment, covering gas stations, LPG stations, and distribution plants throughout the national territory.
According to Energía a Debate, in addition to the 4,310 inspections, PRONAGAS schedules 3,650 documentary reviews between August 2026 and January 2028, and 1,729 environmental ordering procedures due by April 2028. In total, 9,689 facilities will be reviewed under the new scheme.
The territorial rollout begins in August with Mexico City, Querétaro, Aguascalientes, and Zacatecas. Through 2027, the program advances across entities including Nuevo León, Jalisco, Guanajuato, and Puebla, concluding in early 2028 with Coahuila, Oaxaca, Chiapas, Yucatán, and Veracruz. Under the documentary track, regulated parties must present their documentation at ASEA's offices at Periférico Sur 4209, colonia Jardines en la Montaña, Mexico City. Facilities that hold a current, unmodified environmental authorization in compliance with applicable regulations qualify directly for the ordering track.
Permit holders who enter PRONAGAS gain access to reduced economic sanctions and an environmental impact resolution without the imposition of security measures, according to the official ASEA communiqué. The first verification cycle concludes in May 2028.
