Tariffs & Who Gets a Break
The government has introduced gas tariff slabs to implement gas prices for different categories of consumers. The residential consumers get cheaper gas due to cross-subsidy, whereas other consumers, like commercial and industrial,l get gas at higher rates.
Here’s a break, just as an example of how gas slabs work.
- 0–50 units: low tariff rate
- 51–150 units: moderate gas tariff
- 151–600 units: higher rates apply
- 601+ units: highest rate slab
“Protected Consumers” are mostly considered domestic consumers who get gas for cooking purposes. The gas rates are lower compared to the gas tariff during winter months due to higher usage for heating purposes..
Profits of Gas Utilities
The gas utilities-SNGPL and SSGC, operate on a 17.5 percent guaranteed rate of return. So, with the passage of time, the gas tariff rates are going up due to the expansion of ga supply network. The gas shortage is also worsening due to the expansion of the network.
Eco-Friendly Projects: SNGPL & SSGC Are Doing Their Bit
Gas utilities are not just doing business, but they have green plans too:
- They provide Solar Water Heaters in homes and businesses
- They have Wind Farms in the best windy spots
- They also have Biogas Plants on farms using waste
- They are exploring hydrogen and geothermal—pretty forward-thinking
They are not making efforts to help the planet, but these projects help ease pressure on the gas supply too.
When to Expect the Bill & Supply Updates
The customers usually receive bills in the first week of the month. Moreover, if you can check early, and might get “no bill yet.” You can check again around the 5th or 6th.
The gas utilities have been facing supply pressure due to rising demand. Even during the summer season when demand is low, the consumers get supplies during cooking times in the morning for breakfast, at noon, and evening. However, being SNGPL consumers, we don’t get a gas supply after 10 pm.
