Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) has installed 415 pre-paid gas meters in the city under a pilot project to save its customers from unnecessary hassle and inconvenience. This was stated by the SSGC managing director Munawar Baseer Ahmad at the inauguration of pilot project of pre-paid gas meter system at Gulshan-e-Noor Apartments in Scheme 33 here on Monday.
He said the company had acquired 1000 meters from France to be installed under pilot project at Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Clifton, DHA and PECHS Society. These meters would also be installed in the rest of the city in case of pilot project success, he added.
He told the customers would buy smart cards with a value starting from Rs 300 to unlimited amount.
He said those cards, simple in use, would be utilised to start the meter to begin gas supply. These cards were rechargeable.
He said there would be no need for billing, no queue at bank branches, no fears of disconnection, and no surcharge. These cards offer a special discount of 7.3 percent on gas consumption, he added.
Baseer pointed out that was the state of the art technology which controls gas consumption with flexible payment options for customers.
He noted that system would eliminate cost to the company as well as the customers and save times for both.
