Azerbaijan, Baku, Jan. 9/ Trend E. Ismaylov/ Bakgas production union (PU) (dealing with gas distribution in the capital of Azerbaijan) has delivered about 2.45bln cu. m of "blue fuel" to Baku gas system in 2008, source in PU close to supplies said on Jan. 9.
More than 334.4mln cu. m of gas was delivered to Baku gas system in December.
For the time being, daily fuel delivery varies between 13.2-13.4mln cu. m, source said.
In November 234mln cu. m of gas, in October - 147.3mln cu. m, in September - about 110.83mln cu. m were delivered to Baku gas system. But this index made up 98.3mln cu. m in August.
In 2008 PU completely refused from season regime of fuel delivery (summer and winter seasons) to gas system of town. Afterwards this volume of delivered gas is determined by consumers' demand. Introduction of season regime was connected with lack of gas meters among most part of population resulted in irrational use of gas. For the time being, 100% subscribers of gas system in Baku were provided by gas meters, source said earlier.
In previous years since middle of April PU passed to summer work regime following gas cut off for subscribers compared to winter period. Passage was carried out from Nov. 15 in winter period.
