Why is this important
Restrictions on the operation of methane filling stations affect a significant portion of the capital’s motorists, especially those who use gas as their main fuel. Such measures directly affect the availability of gas stations and urban planning. The presence of 21 round-the-clock gas stations will allow public transport to operate smoothly, despite the general restrictions.
What happened
- Restrictions are being introduced on the operation of automobile gas filling compressor stations in Tashkent.
- The gas transportation network operator, in agreement with the city administration, has approved a work schedule for all methane filling stations in the city.
- The restrictions are being introduced temporarily to ensure uninterrupted gas supply to the population and social infrastructure during the cold snap.
- “Hududgaztaminot” is taking measures to normalize the pressure in the gas pipelines and promises to provide details later.
Numbers and facts
- A work schedule has been established for all 78 methane filling stations in the capital.
- Gas will be supplied from 6 a.m. to 23 p.m.
- At the same time, 21 gas stations will operate at night to provide fuel for the capital’s public transport.
Context
- In the winter season, priority is traditionally given to the population and social facilities, which requires resource redistribution.
- Such restrictions are usually introduced during periods of increased gas consumption when the system load reaches peak values.
- Drivers will have to plan refueling in advance, taking into account the new time limits for the stations.
