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 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.
Natural gas and biomethane will play a significant role in long-term freight and passenger transport; however, experts concluded that the promotion of the use of alternative fuels requires infrastructure, fiscal and financial support, as well as a review of European Union (EU) policies, during the conference ‘Gas and Transport. Myths. Reality. Benefits’. The main topic of the discussion was the achievement of international climate objectives, while maintaining the competitiveness of transport companies.
Starting from 1 July 2020, new natural gas tariffs for households will come into effect, where the tariffs will be reduced by 8.3 % to 13,5% compared to the first half of 2020, depending on the customer's annual consumption of natural gas.
