Uzbekistan’s Ministry of Energy Temporarily Restricts CNG Stations Amid Cold Snap

Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) — The Ministry of Energy of Uzbekistan has announced that, due to falling temperatures, the operation of compressed natural gas (CNG) stations will be temporarily limited from 7:00 PM on 4 March until 10:00 AM on 5 March.

The influx of cold and humid air masses into the country has increased demand for natural gas, leading to reduced pressure in the main gas pipelines. Under these circumstances, the top priority remains the uninterrupted supply of natural gas to residential buildings and social infrastructure facilities.

To stabilize gas supply during this period, temporary restrictions on CNG stations have been implemented. Gas supply to social facilities and public transport will continue without interruptions and remain stable.

The Ministry apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.
