“An average Uzbek family consumes 80-120 kilowatts of electricity per month” - Minister of Finance
On August 1, a press conference was held in Tashkent with participation of representatives from the Ministry of Finance, Kun.uz correspondent reports.
During the event, the Minister of Finance Jamshid Kuchkarov told why the government has reduced the basic rate of electricity consumption.
“In Uzbekistan, the state loses 20% of electricity and 8-30% of natural gas. An average family in the republic spends 80-120 kilowatts per month. That is why we have reduced the basic rate of electricity consumption down to 250 kilowatts,” he said.
Earlier, it was reported that the Cabinet of Ministers adopted a resolution “On changing prices and tariffs for fuel and energy resources”. According to the document, the government intends to reduce the basic rate of electricity consumption from 300 to 250 kilowatts.
It should be reminded that in accordance with the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers “On the phased change in prices and tariffs for fuel and energy resources”, from January 1, 2019, as an experiment in the Yunusabad district of the city of Tashkent, the basic rate of consumption of electric energy has been introduced.
Then the basic rate of consumption of electric energy was 300 kilowatts in a month per subscriber. At the same time, the population within the aforementioned base rate had to pay at the established tariff, and above the base rate – with the use of a 1.2-fold increase to the established tariff.
Now the basic rate of consumption of electric energy will be 250 kilowatts. In addition, the population above the base rate will pay a monthly fee with the use of a 1.5-fold increase to the established tariff.
