ISLAMABAD: The Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) has announced a new gas supply schedule for December 2024 in Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Azad Jammu & Kashmir.
The company, which serves millions of customers, introduced time-specific slots to address the increased demand and low-pressure challenges typically faced during the winter months.
SNGPL has introduced a revised schedule to ensure an uninterrupted and full-pressure gas supply for domestic consumers during critical hours. The schedule aims to help households efficiently plan their daily activities, particularly cooking and heating needs, during the cold season.
SNGPL spokesperson said the company revised gas hours in line with government directives and assured that gas would be provided at full pressure during these specified hours across all service areas.

SNGPL has designated three time slots for gas availability.
| Time Slot | Purpose |
| 6:00 AM – 9:00 AM | For morning meals and heating |
| 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM | Supports midday cooking and heating |
| 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM | For dinner |
Gas consumption typically surges in winter due to the use of heaters, boilers, and prolonged cooking times. Shorter daylight hours and inadequate insulation further amplify heating needs, placing additional strain on the system.
The company urged consumers to optimize their usage during the allocated time slots and implement energy-saving practices to mitigate demand pressures.
