Pakistan Plans to Limit Household Gas Supply to Eight Hours Daily This Winter

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan is set to restrict household gas supplies to just eight hours a day this winter as authorities finalize a seasonal gas distribution plan to address the anticipated shortfall between demand and supply.

Sources within the Petroleum Division have indicated that preliminary preparations for the proposed winter gas supply schedule have been completed. A formal presentation detailing the plan is expected to be submitted to relevant stakeholders soon, outlining the measures to manage the expected gas shortage.

This decision comes amid rising concerns over energy shortages that could impact households and businesses alike. The limited gas supply is likely to exacerbate the challenges faced by citizens during the colder months, potentially leading to increased reliance on alternative heating sources and higher energy costs.

In the coming weeks, the government will hold discussions to finalize the gas distribution strategy and explore additional measures to mitigate the impact of the gas supply limitations. Stakeholders are urged to prepare for the upcoming changes as the winter season approaches.
