Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited announced a special gas supply schedule providing gas for 18 hours daily during the three days of Eid-ul-Adha [1].

The measure aims to facilitate consumers during the holiday period, when domestic energy demand typically increases for food preparation and hosting guests. Ensuring a stable supply during these three days [1] is critical for households managing the logistical demands of the religious holiday.

According to the announcement published May 25, 2026, the company will maintain the 18-hour [1] daily supply to reduce the impact of load shedding. This schedule is intended to provide consistent energy access for the duration of the three-day [1] celebration.

There are conflicting reports regarding which entity issued the schedule. While one report identifies Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited as the source of the announcement [1], a separate report from Geo News said Sui Southern announced the schedule.

SNGPL did not provide further details regarding the specific hours of the daily supply or whether the schedule would apply to all regions of Pakistan. The company said the primary goal is to assist consumers during the festive period [1].

The announcement reflects the ongoing challenge of energy stability in Pakistan, where seasonal demand spikes often necessitate temporary scheduling adjustments to prevent total system collapse. The contradiction between reports naming SNGPL and Sui Southern suggests a potential coordinated effort across both northern and southern regions, or a discrepancy in early reporting on the utility provider's identity.
