ISLAMABAD: Keeping in view the depletion of natural gas to the tune of 400 mmcfd, the Cabinet Committee on Energy (CCOE) on Thursday slapped a moratorium on supply of gas to industrial units for self-generation electricity.
Top officials of the government told this scribe it was found that the natural gas has depleted from the system to the tune of 9.4 percent, translating into 400 mmcfd gas within the last two years, and the gas sector is witnessing massive shortages.
In order to optimally use the scarce available natural gas, an exercise was undertaken for assessing the usage of gas by Captive Power Plants (CPPs) both by SSGCL and SNGPL.
