For consumers of Veolia Energy Tashkent, a 30% tariff increase is proposed: thermal energy — 203,636 soums per Gcal, heating — 314 soums per square meter per day, hot water by meter — 11,607 soums per cubic meter. The rationale is the gradual alignment of tariffs with cost price.

From November 1, heating and hot water tariffs will rise by 30%, although the cost of services is 4 times higher than the tariffs. Needy families will receive one-time assistance of 1 million sums, covering over 1 million 17 thousand households.
