SSGC announces gas holiday for industries in Sindh

Due to shortages of gas supplies in the SSGC’s system, the availability of gas has decreased, resulting in the depletion of line pack, causing low pressures in the system, the company said in a statement on Friday.

Pursuant to clause # 14 of GSA for Industrial Customers approved by OGRA and as allowed by ECC of the cabinet to effectively manage gas load according to the approved sectoral priority order, in force for gas load management, all industries, including their power generation units and all CNG stations in Sindh (including those being operated on RLNG), will remain close for 24 hours as per the following given schedule. Gas closure will begin on Sunday, September 22, at 8am and it will end on Monday – September 23, at 8am. The SSGC said it will take strict action against any industry found violating this gas holiday and their gas supplies will be disconnected for at least seven days.
