During the cold period, gas will be supplied primarily to residential buildings and social facilities, the Ministry of Energy reported. Operations of methane filling stations may be temporarily restricted if necessary.

The agency classified methane filling stations as seasonal gas consumers. Fuel will primarily be directed to residential homes, as well as to schools, kindergartens, hospitals, and other social institutions. According to the ministry's press service, restrictions will be introduced based on approved schedules coordinated with khokimiyats, and consumers will be notified of them in advance.

The Ministry of Energy cited the Uzhydromet forecast: a sharp cold snap and rain are expected from November 9 to 11, with snow possible in the mountains. At night, temperatures in northern regions will drop to −2…−7 °C, and across the rest of the country to −1…−2 °C. Daytime highs will reach +3…+8 and +7…+12 °C, respectively. As the ministry noted, preparations for the heating season are underway in Tashkent and several other regions.

Information about illegal connections or use of energy resources is accepted by Uzenergoinspektsiya at +998 71 208-10-15.

The ministry also recommended checking the serviceability of heating and gas appliances, chimneys, and ventilation, refraining from heating premises with gas stoves, avoiding overloading electrical sockets and wiring, and not leaving switched-on heaters unattended.
