Latvijas Gāze supplies customers with natural gas, which is the most convenient and environmentally friendly traditional fuel for consumers. At times, when environmental aspects are playing an important role in our decision-making, Latvijas Gāze has developed an environmental policy that identifies initiatives that promote greater responsibility for the environment, as well as the development and spread of environmentally friendly technologies.
The use of biomethane in transport is closely linked to the development of natural gas filling infrastructure, as well as the increase in the number of CNG cars. It is the next step towards climate neutrality and environmentally friendly energy.
From 1 January 2022, the increase in the price of natural gas for households purchasing natural gas at the regulated tariff will be significantly lower than the increase in the total price of natural gas in the market.
The use of natural gas in road transport has become increasingly popular over the last decade. CNG-powered cars are now used by more than two million Europeans and are suitable for everyone, from private vehicle owners to public transport and freight transport.
The Gaso service tariff is intended for a regulation period of 4.5 years (from 1 July 2021 to 31 December 2025).
The changes are related to both the increase in the natural gas prices in the global markets and the amendments to the service tariff of distribution system operator Gaso (hereinafter – Gaso), which was approved by the Public Utilities Commission (hereinafter – PUC) on 30 April this year.
