Azerbaijan, Baku, August 5 / Trend , E.Ismayilov/
In January-July PU Bakgaz (distribution and sale of gas in Baku) provided more than 1.6 billion cubic meters of gas to the gas system of the city.
According to the source, in July about 109 million cubic meters of natural gas was transferred to the gas system of the city compared to more than 114 million cubic meters in June. In May, about 141 million cubic meters gas was provided to the system.
"Presently, daily gas consumption is averagely 3.4 million cubic meters per day," the source said.
Cut on gas consumption in Baku is connected with a summer season.
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.
