Basic gas consumption allowance increases to 500 cubic metres per month from November 1
From November 1, in most regions of Uzbekistan, the basic natural gas consumption allowance for households increases fivefold, from 100 to 500 cubic metres per month. This was established by Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 204 of April 16, 2024.
According to the annex to the resolution, the increased allowance of up to 500 cubic metres per month applies for four months, from November through February. From March through October, the basic allowance is up to 100 cubic metres per month. The document defines the heating season as the period when gas consumption naturally increases.
For the Republic of Karakalpakstan and Khorezm region, the timeframe is different. There, the allowance of 500 cubic metres per month applies longer, from October through February, while the 100-cubic-metre allowance applies from March through September.
The resolution allows the Ministry of Energy, in coordination with the Cabinet of Ministers, to adjust the timing of seasonal allowances based on air temperatures. The ministry must report any such changes on its website and in the mass media.
