Egypt's Petrotrade company has announced that Sunday is the last day for residential units to record their natural gas consumption readings for September electronically. The company urged customers to quickly register their readings before the deadline to avoid being charged based on average consumption if they fail to do so. This measure aims to ensure accurate billing and encourage timely reporting.

Petrotrade offers multiple electronic channels for customers to easily and quickly record their gas meter readings without visiting company offices. The available channels include the company's website, reporting to collectors during their visits, and using various mobile applications and electronic payment platforms. These options are designed to provide convenience and flexibility for customers across the country.

The 13 electronic channels provided by Petrotrade for recording gas meter readings include the company's website, mobile applications such as "My Fawry" and Jumia, and electronic payment platforms like Fawry, Aman, and Masri. Additionally, customers can use landline phones, mobile phones, and automated teller machines (ATMs) from specific banks. These channels are part of Petrotrade's efforts to modernize and streamline its services.

Customers can also record their gas readings by contacting Petrotrade's dedicated landline numbers, which vary by branch and are listed on the company's website. Furthermore, a short code, 17169, is available for customers to use from any landline or mobile phone. These communication channels provide customers with multiple options for reporting their gas consumption.

For those who prefer in-person interactions, Petrotrade has established external customer service centers in various locations, including sports clubs, compounds, ministries, and government agencies. Customers can visit these centers to record their readings and pay any outstanding bills. This approach aims to cater to customers who prefer face-to-face interactions.

The company's emphasis on electronic reporting and widespread availability of service channels reflects its commitment to enhancing customer experience and operational efficiency. By providing diverse options for recording gas meter readings, Petrotrade seeks to minimize disruptions and encourage timely compliance with reporting requirements.

Failure to record gas meter readings by the deadline may result in customers being charged based on average consumption, which could lead to higher bills. Therefore, it is essential for residents to take advantage of the available electronic channels and report their readings before Sunday. This measure will help ensure accurate billing and prevent potential issues.
