Methane Gas stations to close again

The Energy Ministry said that there has been a sharp drop in gas pressure in gas pipelines due to the persistence of abnormally low temperatures across the country.

In this connection, measures are being taken to deliver natural gas primarily to the population, power-generating enterprises and social facilities.

To this end, natural gas supplies to some large industrial enterprises have been sharply reduced and the operation of gas-filling compressor stations for vehicles has been temporarily suspended.

Also, gasoline and diesel fuel products will be sold in additional volumes, including from reserves, to fully meet the growing demand.

"Dear citizens, you are requested to use public transport as much as possible during these days when temperatures have dropped sharply, stay at home if not needed and use electricity and natural gas sparingly in your home," the statement said.
