Set how price caps are established for wholesale sales of commercial gas on the domestic market and for wholesale and retail sales of liquefied petroleum gas under the off-exchange supply plan.
What matters for an oil & gas company
- Wholesale price caps for commercial gas are set for five years broken down by year and, if needed, adjusted annually from 1 July — separately for the capital, each region and city of republican significance, and industrial consumer-investors producing CNG/LNG.
- Adjustments are made no more than once a year at the national operator's request following changes in gas purchase prices, supply structure and sources, or regulated transport and storage tariffs.
- The cap levels themselves are approved by separate orders of the Minister of Energy (e.g., Order No. 210 of 06.06.2023 as amended; separate caps for large commercial consumers and digital mining).
