The powers of the Tariff Council have been increased.

APA reports that this was reflected in the relevant decree of President Ilham Aliyev.

According to the decree, the Tariff Council will determine the amount for the connection (physical or technological) of construction objects to the gas distribution network.

Due to the technological connection of construction facilities where household gas appliances are installed to the existing gas distribution network in the areas where territorial planning documents have been approved, the users of the gas appliance must pay the gas distributor for the connection service in the amount determined by the Tariff Council.

The Tariff Council will determine the amount of payment based on the methodology determined by the Cabinet of Ministers.
