On 1 May 2023, the natural gas market is fully open. This means that Latvijas Gāze continues to provide its customers with natural gas at the market price, instead of the methodology approved by the Public Services Regulatory Commission.

As a market product, we offer the UNIVERSAL service, developed in accordance with the new MK regulations no. 78 because it has several advantages.

UNIVERSAL service

The UNIVERSAL service has reduced natural gas prices by 37% for cooking and by 24% for heating.

Advantageous natural gas price

Suitable both if you use natural gas for cooking and heating, as the natural gas price is differentiated depending on the annual consumption for up to 250 m3 (up to 2 635 kWh) and over 250 m3 (over 2 635.1 kWh)

Protection against price swings on the stock exchange

The price of natural gas is fixed for 6 months, which provides security and will make it easier to plan expenses

No need to renew the contract

Existing Latvijas Gāze customers, who had a contract with Latvijas Gāze as of April 30, do not need to change the contract for the UNIVERSAL service - natural gas is supplied on the basis of amendments to the Energy Law.
