OGRA notifies October RLNG price increase of up to 15.27% for SNGPL and SSGC
Published · Updated
What happened
OGRA notified October RLNG prices for SNGPL and SSGC at levels about 13.9% to 15.27% above the previous month, according to local reporting. The new notified prices reverse September's reduction and reset the monthly fuel-cost base for RLNG-linked consumption.
Why it matters
Higher notified RLNG prices raise the cost base for gas utilities and for power generation where RLNG is used as fuel. That can feed into fuel cost adjustments, industrial energy bills, and short-term inflation readings if the increase is passed through.
The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority notified higher October re-gasified liquefied natural gas prices for Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited and Sui Southern Gas Company Limited, reversing the previous month's reduction. Reported increases were roughly 13.9% to 15.27%, lifting the input cost for RLNG supplied to power, industrial and other consumers under linked pricing arrangements. For the energy and economic teams, the near-term question is whether to pass the higher cost through into power tariffs and gas billing or absorb part of it through delayed adjustments and fiscal pressure.
