From May 1, new tariffs for electricity and natural gas will come into force in Uzbekistan. From June 1, 2024, 1 cubic meter of natural gas for CNG filling stations will be supplied at a price of 1,800 soums. The press secretary of the Ministry of Energy Khasan Toshkhodjayev said at a conference at the National Press Center on April 22 that prices at gas stations will not increase until June 1.
