Maldive Gas has announced a temporary change to the amount of cooking gas supplied in cylinders, effective from this coming Saturday.
Maldive Gas said the decision was intended to ensure uninterrupted gas supplies to the public amid rising global gas prices and difficulties importing gas into the Maldives.
Changes to gas refill quantities:
The amount supplied in 10 kg cylinders will be reduced to 7 kg.
The amount supplied in 22 kg cylinders will be reduced to 14 kg.
The amount supplied in 45 kg cylinders will be reduced to 31 kg.
Maldive Gas said gas prices would not increase despite the change. Customers will continue to be charged under the existing system, based on the weight of gas supplied in each cylinder at the current per-kilogram rate.
Maldive Gas also said it was undertaking extensive work with STO to address such gas shortages and increase gas storage capacity in the Maldives.
Maldive Gas said that once the ongoing work is completed, it will be possible to store three months' worth of gas at a time, providing a permanent solution to the issue.
