Sui Southern Suspends Gas Supply for 48 Hours

Gas Supply Suspension Schedule

According to Sui Southern, gas supply to industries and CNG stations will remain suspended from:

  • Friday, January 17, at 8:00 AM

  • Until Monday, 8:00 AM

The company stated that gas supply will be fully restored after the completion of the scheduled period.

Reason Behind the Decision

SSGC said the decision was taken in response to:

  • Increased gas demand during cold weather

  • Low gas pressure complaints from household consumers

  • Extraordinary pressure on the gas transmission system

A spokesperson explained that winter conditions significantly increase domestic gas consumption, making it necessary to prioritize household users so they can meet essential needs such as cooking and heating.

Domestic Consumers Given Priority

The gas utility emphasized that the temporary shutdown aims to ensure:

  • Improved gas pressure for homes

  • Uninterrupted cooking facilities for families

  • Better distribution of limited gas resources during peak demand

SSGC added that household consumers are being given top priority to minimize public inconvenience during the ongoing cold spell.

Appeal to Industries and CNG Stations

Sui Southern has requested cooperation from industrial consumers and CNG station operators, assuring them that:

  • The suspension is temporary

  • Gas supply will be resumed immediately after the scheduled 48 hours

  • The company is continuously monitoring system pressure

Winter Gas Shortage Challenge

Gas shortages and pressure issues are a recurring challenge during winter months due to:

  • Increased domestic usage

  • Limited gas supply

  • System constraints during peak hours

Authorities say such temporary measures are necessary to maintain balance within the gas network.
