Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) — Uzbekistan will increase the basic monthly natural gas consumption allowance for households to 500 cubic metres during the heating season from November 2026, five times the previous level, according to Hududgazta’minot JSC.
The higher allowance will apply from November to February. During the rest of the year, from March to October, the basic allowance will remain at 100 cubic metres per month.
Due to higher gas consumption in autumn and winter, a special arrangement applies in Karakalpakstan and Khorezm Region. There, the monthly allowance of 500 cubic metres will remain in effect for a longer period, from October to February.
The basic allowance determines the volume of gas charged at the lowest tariff. During the heating season, the first 500 cubic metres will cost 1,100 soums per cubic metre. From March to October, the same rate will apply to the first 100 cubic metres.
Consumption above the basic allowance will be charged at progressively higher rates. During the heating season, volumes from 501 to 2,500 cubic metres will cost 2,000 soums per cubic metre. Outside the heating season, this rate will apply to consumption from 101 to 2,500 cubic metres.
The rate for consumption from 2,501 to 5,000 cubic metres is 2,300 soums per cubic metre; from 5,001 to 10,000 cubic metres, 2,700 soums; and above 10,000 cubic metres, 3,300 soums.
Household natural gas tariffs have been in effect since 1 June 2026 under Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 243 of 15 May 2026, “On Establishing Prices for Fuel and Energy Resources.”
