Key Takeaways
- Consumers with long-disconnected gas connections must now pay higher tariffs.
- Reconnection fees apply, and billing will follow LNG tariff rates.
- Older connections will not qualify for cheaper gas facilities.
Strict conditions have been imposed for restoring Sui gas connections that have remained disconnected for over a year, according to a recent announcement.
Under the new policy, consumers whose gas connections have been disconnected for more than a year will not be eligible for the cheaper gas facility that was previously available.
For reconnection, all consumers, including domestic users, will be subject to the LNG tariff policy, which is significantly higher than the previous rates.
The restoration of disconnected gas connections will require payment of a reconnection fee, after which the billing for these connections will be conducted under the LNG tariff, imposing an additional financial burden on consumers.
This change is aimed at ensuring that all consumers, regardless of the length of disconnection, are treated equally under the new tariff policy.
The new conditions are expected to affect a significant number of consumers who have been without gas services for extended periods.
The policy change is part of a broader effort to modernize and standardize gas tariffs across the country, ensuring that all users are subject to the same pricing structure.
While the new policy is expected to bring some financial relief to the government, it may cause concern among consumers who have been relying on the cheaper gas rates for years.
