Story so far

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has directed authorities to finalise a comprehensive gas load management plan for the upcoming winter, citing challenges in securing LNG supplies. The plan prioritises locally produced gas for domestic consumers, with Regasified Liquefied Natural Gas (RLNG) allocated to power plants and industries.

For the December-February period, the government is working to import LNG, with reports suggesting actual supply may be limited to 7-12 cargoes despite higher demand from gas companies. The plan also includes a public awareness campaign and proposals to encourage electric appliance use.

Latest development

Authorities are finalising a Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) import plan for December-February, with reports indicating that while 22 cargoes have been requested, actual imports could be limited to between seven and twelve due to market conditions and supply risks.

Latest updates

The government is working on a Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) import plan for the December to February period as part of its winter gas management strategy.

According to available reports, gas companies and the Petroleum Division have sought at least 22 LNG cargoes. However, the energy task force is reportedly considering 10-12 cargoes on a best-effort basis. Sources suggest actual imports could be limited to seven or eight cargoes due to prevailing market conditions and disruptions to regional energy routes.

The LNG procurement plan is also noted as significant for Pakistan’s current account targets agreed with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

    Electric appliances ke liye bank financing ki tajweez kaafi dilchasp hai. Agar iski sharait aam gharanon ke liye munasib rakhi jayein, to is se gas heaters se muntaqili mein bohat madad mil sakti hai.

    Yeh dekh kar tasalli hui ke RLNG supply ke liye industries ko priority di ja rahi hai. Sardi ke mausam mein economic activity aur jobs ko protect karne ke liye yeh ek ahem faisla hai.
