ISLAMABAD: (HRNW) Federal Minister for Energy Hammad Azhar Saturday said that procurement of LNG is not linked to the gas shortage as it is not provided to the domestic consumers.
Speaking during Tv programme, Aietraz Hai, Hammad Azhar said that every year there is a gas shortage in Pakistan that has only 28 percent of its households using the gas facility. “70 percent Pakistanis do not have the gas facility,” he said.
He shared that gas needs for households multiples three times in winter, leading to shortage and forcing them to set a preference of gas supply that included domestic consumers as the top priority, followed by industries.
While delinking domestic gas shortage with LNG, Hammad Azhar said that households get gas supply from local resources and imported LNG is being provided to LNG power plants and factories owing to its higher cost.
