Why Has SSGC Introduced Winter Gas Timings?
Gas demand usually increases during winter because households use more gas for cooking, heating water and other daily activities.
At the same time, limited gas availability creates pressure on the distribution system. Therefore, SSGC has introduced fixed cooking hours to manage available supplies and prioritise domestic consumers.
