At the end of the calendar year, Gaso (distribution system operator) recalculates the tariffs according to the actual annual consumption of the user. If the volume of natural gas consumed during the year is higher or lower than the previously determined tariff, the recalculation is made for the entire previous year.
At the 19 December 2023 meeting of the Council of the Public Utilities Commission, new tariffs for natural gas distribution system services for the tariff period from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024 were approved. The tariffs will enter into force on 1 January 2024 and will be visible in the bills received in February 2024 for natural gas consumed in January. The fixed payment and the variable part, depending on the consumption of natural gas, of the new distribution operator Gaso, will be shown in the bill details.
Customer question: the calorific value of natural gas is indicated on the natural gas invoice. What does it mean and why does it vary from month to month?
On 6 September, Latvijas Gāze participated in the Dienas Bizness conference “Heat Supply and Energy Technologies 2023”. The conference brought together experts from the energy sector to find answers to questions about the availability and price of heat supply services in the upcoming heating season, moments before the start of the new heating season.
With the opening of the natural gas market, Latvijas Gāze household customers will be able to pay for natural gas at a 24% to 37% lower price compared to the current regulated natural gas tariff and on customer-friendly terms.
With the full opening of the natural gas market, we will continue to provide our customers with an uninterrupted supply of natural gas, without contract renewal and already at market price, under the UNIVERSAL service, designed in accordance with the new Cabinet Regulation No. 78 that was adopted on 4 April.
