Government increases social norm for natural gas consumption as heating season begins

SOCIETY 14:25 122

From November through February, natural gas pricing will follow a tiered rate structure based on monthly consumption:

•  Up to 500 cubic meters: 650 soums per cubic meter
•  501 to 2,500 cubic meters: 1,500 soums per cubic meter
•  2,501 to 5,000 cubic meters: 1,950 soums per cubic meter
•  5,001 to 10,000 cubic meters: 2,275 soums per cubic meter
•  Above 10,000 cubic meters: 2,600 soums per cubic meter

The new social norm and revised rates are designed to help consumers manage costs during the peak heating months when demand typically rises. These measures are expected to ease the financial burden for households across Uzbekistan, allowing greater access to necessary heating resources through the winter.
