He requested the federal to refrain from adding RLNG prices with the present WACOG pricing mechanism of indigenous natural gas. As per existing practice, RLNG consumers (i-e Tier-1) shall continue to be ring-fenced and kept separate from the regular consumers (i-e Tier-1) utilizing indigenous gas under WACOG.

Provincial Minister for Energy Mr. Imtiaz Shaikh further said in his letter that the Government of Sindh demands the constitutional rights of the people of Sindh for priority overutilization of natural gas from the wellheads located in the province, in pursuance of Article 158 of the Constitution of Pakistan, shall be safeguarded in letter and spirit.

He said that SSGCL may also be directed to complete all gasification schemes which are pending since 2010 whose construction cost has already been paid by the Government of Sindh and it shall also be directed to accept new gasification schemes which are being refused for since last over five years despite Govemment’s assurance of payment of cost over and above per Customer cost criteria fixed by OGRA. 

Imtiaz Shaikh said that SSGCL may further be directed not to carry out load-shedding in Sindh for the consumers of gas especially industrial and CNG. 

He said that provincial representation in corporate bodies dealing with oil and gas matters, in pursuance of Article 172(3), may be ensured. The government of Sindh shall be accorded due representation in OGRA, PPL, HDIP, PSO, refineries, etc., provincial government’s right to equally manage local oil and gas sector, and issuance of its own gas management and allocation policy be acknowledged.
