Azerbaijan, Baku, June 29 / Trend , E.Ismayilov/
Daily gas consumption in Baku averagely makes up 3.6 million cubic meters compared to 4.5 million in early June, the PU Bakgaz (distribution and sale of gas in Baku) said on June 29.
"Presently, daily gas consumption is averagely 3.6 million cubic meters per day," the source said.
Gas consumption gradually decreased in spring and reached the current volumes at the moment. Cut on gas consumption in Baku is connected with a summer season.
Daily gas consumption in Baku fluctuates between 3.8 million and 4.5 million cubic meters in a summer period, the source said earlier.
In January-May 2009, PU Bakgaz (distribution and sale of gas in Baku) filled over 1.4 billion cubic metre of gas the Baku city gas system, a source from the company said.
In May, about 141 million cubic metre of gas was supplied to city's gas system, compared to 226 million cubic metre in April.
Roughly 5 million cubic metre of gas is filled the gas system of Baku daily.
Gas transmission was cut due to a summer reason
Baku's system was supplied with 2.45 billion cubic meters of gas by PU in 2008.
PU refused from season gas supply (summer and winter seasons) in Baku's gas system in 2008. Volume of supplied gas is determined by consumers' demand. Introduction of season regime was connected with lack of gas meters among most part of population. As a result population used gas irrationally. Presently, 100 percent of users of Baku's system were provided with gas meters, a source said.PU passed to summer regime of work from mid. of April in previous years. This regime of work envisages reduction of gas supply for users compared to winter period. Transfer to winter period was conducted from November 15. Daily gas supply hits 3-4 million cubic meters in summer but 10-13 million cubic meters in winter.
