Today, during the night monitoring activities conducted by the staff of the Energy Ministry, it was found that some CNG filling stations in Tashkent are operating illegally, the press service of the Energy Ministry reported.

Reportedly, it became known that a CNG filling station belonging to ENERGOMASHTRANS IMPEX (SHAFFOF) LLC, located in Yangihayot district, was secretly operating by breaking the one-time stamps and turning off the street lights without observing the set shutdown schedule.

Due to the fact that this CNG filling station has already committed 2 violations so far, on December 4 of this year, 50,400 cubic meters (50.4 million soums) and on December 21, 921,600 cubic meters (921.6 million soums) were recalculated.

On December 29, 460,800 cubic meters (460.8 million soums) were additionally calculated due to the fact that the modem device of CNG filling station was turned off and natural gas was being used arbitrarily, and natural gas supply was stopped.

Also, it became known that the gas filling station, located on the New Tashkent ring road, Sergeli district, belonging to MEGA OIL BUSINESS LLC, was operating arbitrarily without observing the set shutdown schedule.

The gas meter of this CNG filling station is installed in the branch area instead of being located at the connection point according to the established procedure. Due to the fact that there was no opportunity to inspect the CNG filling station’s gas meter during the event, when it was studied through the ASKUG system, it was concluded that the parameters of the gas meter were changed by the metrologists of “Khududgaztaminot” JSC.

Also, it became known this CNG filling station has been secretly reducing the specified daily gas consumption, and the supply of natural gas to it has been stopped.

The formalized documents regarding the identified cases were submitted to the law enforcement agencies.
