The Ministry of Construction and Housing and Communal Services has submitted a draft for public discussion that introduces new rates for centralized heat supply services for citizens.
It is proposed to approve new tariffs for Tashkent residents starting from November 1st of this year. According to the draft, the fee for central heating will be 314 soms per square meter per day, including VAT. The cost of hot water by meter will reach 11,607 soms per cubic meter with VAT, and 45,330 soms per person monthly if there is no metering device.
The document also specifies a tariff for thermal energy at 206,636 soms per Gcal. For dormitory residents, a hot water supply tariff is planned to be set at 33,720 soms per person per month.
Current indicators are as follows: one cubic meter of hot water costs 8,928.7 soms with VAT, and without a meter, it costs 34,868.9 soms per person per month. Heating is calculated using a tariff of 241.4 soms per square meter of heated area per heating period day.
If this project is adopted, the thermal energy tariff is expected to increase by almost 48%, and the total cost of heating and hot water for the capital's residents will increase by approximately 30%. The public can review the document and participate in the discussion until October 28th.
