Government trying to regulate methane gas prices amid economic adjustments

On May 25, 2024, the Cabinet of Ministers adopted a decision to extend the maximum retail price for methane gas. The Energy Ministry reported this development.

According to the decision, the existing maximum retail price introduced by clause 7 of decision number 475 of September 15, 2023, will continue to set the price at 3750 UZS per cubic meter until August 1, 2024, at natural gas compressor fueling stations for vehicles.
