Cooler than normal temperatures in most regions of the country led to a slight increase in natural gas sales in the residential sector in July.
Higher sales volume in the residential sector (+1.6%) and the commercial sector (+0.3%) were more than offset by a decline of 12.3% in the volume of industrial sales (including direct sales).
Natural gas sales totalled 3 682 million cubic metres, down 9.7% from July 2006.
On a year-to-date basis, sales at the end of July were up 5.4% from the same seven-month period in 2006 in the wake of across-the-board increases in all sectors.
The volume of natural gas sales to the industrial sector (including direct sales) has risen 2.2% so far in 2007, while sales were up 9.8% in the residential sector and 9.4% in the commercial sector.
