The tariffs of GASO for 2024 have been calculated taking into account objective circumstances – the number of natural gas users, the decrease in natural gas consumption and unforeseen costs due to the increase in natural gas prices.
The services of the distribution operator Gaso represent only a part of the total payment for natural gas – the price of natural gas, which is affected by fluctuations in the price of the resource on world markets; transmission charges; distribution operator services; and excise and value-added taxes, which are regulated by the state. Natural gas price is set by the free market, and it fluctuates depending on the global situation, as it is linked to the European gas exchange indices.
