Basic electricity consumption standard to be raised in areas without gas supply
President Shavkat Mirziyoyev approved a proposal to increase the basic standard of electricity consumption for areas lacking gas supply or gas delivery. The basic standard has been increased from 200 kWh to 350 kWh for electricity use during the heating season. At the meeting chaired by the President, measures for social support of the population during the autumn-winter period were presented. Among the proposed measures is the extension of the coverage period for part of the expenses for electricity and gas exceeding the basic standard until April 1, 2028. This measure is expected to cover 470 thousand families over the year. Additionally, a proposal was considered to increase the maximum income per person for supporting needy families not included in the unified social register to cover expenses for electricity, gas, coal, and utilities, up to 1,430,000 UZS. This will further expand support coverage to another 166 thousand families. It was also proposed to consider providing one-time financial assistance to needy families in December. Work continues on equipping 3 thousand homes in settlements with difficult conditions with heating systems and installing energy-saving equipment in them. Mirziyoyev instructed the government to ensure the timely transfer of funds for aid and guarantee their receipt by needy families. He also gave directives on improving the efficiency of managing energy enterprises, as well as reducing excess costs and losses in the networks.
