Winter Gas Load-Shedding Schedule 2025 Announced by SNGPL

As winter approaches, Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) has released the Winter Gas Load-Shedding Schedule 2025 to manage the high demand for gas across Pakistan. The plan aims to provide a fair supply to households during the colder months.

Winter Gas Timings 2025

Households will have access to gas during these hours:

• Morning: 5:30 AM – 8:30 AM

• Afternoon: 11:30 AM – 1:30 PM

• Evening: 5:30 PM – 8:30 PM

These timings apply to major cities under SNGPL, including Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Peshawar, and smaller towns in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Why the Schedule Is Needed

During winter, gas demand rises sharply for heating, cooking, and water geysers. Limited gas reserves cannot meet full demand, so SNGPL has fixed supply hours to ensure fair distribution and avoid complete outages.

How It Affects Households

Residents are advised to plan meals and use gas appliances within the given hours. Outside these times, gas pressure will be low or temporarily suspended. SNGPL also asks consumers to use gas efficiently, like keeping geysers off when not needed and insulating pipes.

Regions Covered

The schedule covers SNGPL areas including:

• Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Sialkot, Multan, Peshawar, Gujranwala, and nearby districts.

Temporary Plan

SNGPL may adjust the schedule depending on weather, gas reserves, or supply changes. Officials assure the public that efforts are ongoing to stabilize gas distribution.

Public Cooperation

Citizens are urged to report gas theft or illegal connections to SNGPL to prevent pressure drops and ensure fair supply.

Tips to Manage Gas Shortage at Home

1. Cook during available gas hours.

2. Use electric appliances where possible.

3. Avoid keeping geysers on for long periods.

4. Insulate water pipes and install water-saving taps.

5. Report leaks or theft immediately.

Conclusion

The Winter Gas Load-Shedding Schedule 2025 is designed to balance gas supply during winter. While it may cause some inconvenience, following the schedule and using gas responsibly will help households get a fair share and ensure smoother winter supply for everyone.
