Monopoly of SSGC & SNGC Ended

The news you’re referencing appears to be about the end of the monopoly held by SSGC (Sui Southern Gas Company) and SNGC (Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited), which are the two main gas suppliers in Pakistan. Here’s a breakdown of the key points from the headline:

Monopoly Ended

It suggests that the long-standing monopoly of SSGC and SNGC over gas distribution in Pakistan is being dismantled. This could mean that other companies will be allowed to enter the gas distribution market, breaking the hold these two companies had on the sector.

Transformation Plan Approved

 This indicates that a strategic plan for the transformation of the gas sector has been approved. Such a plan could involve introducing competition, modernizing infrastructure, or changing how gas is priced and supplied.

Big Change in 2035

 The “big change” refers to a significant development that is expected to happen in 2035. Although the exact nature of the change isn’t specified here, it could imply a complete overhaul of the gas distribution system or a shift to alternative energy sources.

Additionally, the second part of your alert references SSGC starting to collect geyser charges in gas bills. This likely means SSGC has begun adding a separate charge to consumer bills for using geysers (water heaters). The goal may be to regulate gas consumption for heating appliances.
This is major news in Pakistan’s energy sector, signaling future reforms and possibly new competitors entering the market.
