Background of Sui Gas Load Shedding in Pakistan
This sui gas crisis in Pakistan is a result of the country’s failure to develop its own gas resources & its reliance on imported LNG & LPG gas. The country has known about its gas reserves for many years, but has failed to take advantage of them due to non availability of investment and security concerns. Now with the natural gas reserves running out, Pakistan is facing a major energy crisis specially in winter season.
Why Sui Gas Load Shedding?
The government has been criticized for its handling of the situation as government has failed to import the required amount of LNG gas for this winter due to its high prices in international market. In fact Russia has cut the gas supplies for Europe and European countries are now trying to buy gas from Qatar. Due to this excessive demand the price of LNG and LPG has increased a lot. Pakistan Tehrik e Insaaf has demanded that the government should take immediate steps to resolve the energy crisis in the country during the winter season as people are suffering a lot due to sui gas load shedding.
Impact of Sui Gas Load Shedding
The energy crisis is likely to have a major impact on the country’s economy specially in the winter season. Natural gas is used in a variety of industries, including power generation, manufacturing, fertilizer and agriculture. With gas supplies limited, these export based industries are likely to be hit hard. This will in turn lead to job losses, decrease in foreign exchange/imports & higher prices for consumers.
Conclusion
The government has so far not announce any plans to address the energy crisis. It is important that the government takes appropriate actions soon, before the crisis worsens. Now lets read the newspaper reports about sui gas load shedding schedule 2022.
