Shavkat Mirziyoyev approved new measures to develop the fuel and energy sector by a decree dated September 22 (DP-202).
The functions of government agencies in the energy sector are being revised. The Ministry of Energy will no longer issue individual permits for contractual, service and other business relations involving sector enterprises and consumers.
Energy-sector enterprises will independently conduct commercial activities in the fuel and energy sector. These include the extraction and production of energy resources, as well as their processing, transportation, storage, distribution and sale.
The Agency for the Development and Regulation of the Energy Market will receive additional responsibilities related to the phased introduction of market mechanisms in the supply of natural and liquefied gas.
The Inspectorate for Control over the Use of Electricity, Petroleum Products and Gas (Uzenergoinspection) will be given preventive control functions. It will focus on early identification of risks, as well as preventing and mitigating violations.
From July 1, 2027, a unified digital platform for the Interagency Tariff Commission in the fuel and energy sector is to be launched. The platform is intended to make the commission’s work more transparent, efficient and prompt.
The platform will be used to receive and process tariff applications, as well as financial, technical and other information needed to calculate tariffs. Calculations will be carried out automatically in accordance with procedures approved by the Cabinet of Ministers.
