CAIRO - 14 October 2019: For the first time, Natural gas was delivered to 21 districts in 8 governorates for the first time ever in the first quarter of the 2019-2020 fiscal year, Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Tarek El Molla said on Sunday.
This comes as part of the ministry's plan to provide 1.2 million housing units with natural gas this fiscal year, he added in a statement, according to state news agency, MENA.
Fresh ways are taken to accelerate the plan's pace including an installment payment for connection fees, Molla said.
Up to 4,613 cars have been converted to run on compressed natural gas instead of gasoline in September; the highest rate since a related project was launched, he added.
