Petroleum Ministry activates emergency plan for natural gas supply
Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources announced that it has activated a pre-established emergency plan for natural gas supply priorities in response to ongoing military operations in the region, which have led to the disruption of gas supplies from the east. In a statement, the ministry said that natural gas supplies will be suspended to certain industrial activities, while increasing the use of mazut in power stations to the maximum available amount. The ministry is also coordinating the operation of some power stations on diesel as a precautionary measure to maintain the stability of the natural gas network and avoid load shedding in the electricity grid. These actions are being taken in anticipation of the resumption of natural gas flow from the east. The ministry also noted that three Floating Storage Regasification Units (FSRUs) have already arrived in Egypt, with one currently regasifying and pumping natural gas into the national grid. The other two units are being prepared for connection at ports and will begin supplying gas once operational. 'The Natural Gas Network's operations room is monitoring the situation around the clock, with the network remaining secure and sufficient reserves of mazut in place,' according to the statement. 'The Minister of Electricity and Renewable Energy, along with the Minister of Petroleum, visited the National Gas Control Center to assess the latest developments regarding the emergency plan,' it said. 'Additionally, the Petroleum Minister visited the Sokhna Port to expedite the connection of the third FSRU to the national gas network,' it added. The Prime Minister held a meeting with both ministers to review the latest updates and ensure the continued activation of the emergency plan.
