Uzbekistan Sets Household Gas Tariffs and 500 m³ Heating-Season Norm

Household natural gas tariffs for Uzbekistan's heating season take effect from 1 November. From November to February, the monthly base consumption norm is 500 cubic metres per household; from March to October it is 100 cubic metres. In the Republic of Karakalpakstan and Khorezm region, where the cold season starts earlier, the 500-cubic-metre norm applies from October through February.

Under Cabinet of Ministers resolution No. 243 of 15 May 2026, household tariffs apply from 1 June this year, including VAT. During the heating season, up to 500 cubic metres costs 1,100 soums per cubic metre, 501 to 2,500 costs 2,000 soums, 2,501 to 5,000 costs 2,300 soums, 5,001 to 10,000 costs 2,700 soums, and above 10,000 costs 3,300 soums.

The norm is not a hard limit with penalties. Gas within the threshold is billed at the 1,100-soum base tariff, while volume above it is charged at the higher rate.
