LAHORE – The Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) is responsible to supply natural gas to its millions of customers in Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and other areas of Pakistan.
The company has issued a schedule for supply of gas to domestic consumers during winter months due to shortage and low-pressure of gas in the cold season.
As per the scheduled, gas will be provided to customers in three different time slots in a day in order to ensure provision of full-pressure supply to consumers.
The schedule has been announced so domestic consumers can plan their routine activities such as cooking food.
New Gas Schedule for Winter Months
As per the latest gas supply schedule, consumers will have access gas during three specific time slots: 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM, 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM, and 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
Time Slot | Gas Schedule |
6:00 AM – 9:00 AM | For morning meals and heating |
12:00 PM – 2:00 PM | Supports midday cooking and heating |
6:00 PM – 9:00 PM | For dinner |
SNGPL officials said the company revised gas hours for government directives. He assured consumers that gas will be supplied at full pressure during these specified times across all areas.
Sui gas consumption increases in winter mainly due to higher heating demands as people use gas for boilers and heaters. Also, shorter daylight hours and potential heat loss from poor insulation prompt increased gas usage, resulting in a significant spike during the cold season.
