Special tariffs are set for social children's institutions, electric transport, religious organizations at the level of 168 tyiyn per 1 kWh (excluding taxes).

In subsequent years, tariffs will be changed taking into account the inflation rate.
The funds will be used to upgrade equipment, install transformer substations, build power lines and increase generating capacity.
Heating tariffs for the population in 2021 will not change and will remain at the rate of 1134.76 som / Gcal.
