Tariff hikes prompted residents of Uzbekistan to save electricity and gas — Ministry of Economy and Finance
Deputy Minister of Economy and Finance Khurshed Mustafayev said that from 2023 to 2025 the average monthly electricity consumption per subscriber fell from 212 to 184 kWh (−13%), and gas from 431 to 342 cubic meters (−21%). Deputy Director of the National Agency for Social Protection Jamshid Abruev explained the shift to targeted support by the fact that the previous subsidies benefited higher-income families more. Over a year and a half, about 470 thousand families received compensation totaling 156 billion soums.
