Operation of methane filling stations may be temporarily restricted during cold snaps — Ministry of Energy
During cold snaps, the operation of compressed natural gas (CNG) filling stations may be temporarily restricted according to schedules agreed with khokimiyats. Consumers will be notified in advance.
Priority in the distribution of natural gas will be given to households, schools, kindergartens, hospitals, and other social facilities. Restrictions will be introduced according to schedules agreed with khokimiyats.
Measures may be required due to the expected sharp cold snap on November 10–12. During this period, rain is forecast, in some places heavy; at night, temperatures will drop to 0…+5 degrees Celsius, in the north — to −2…−7, and during the day, +7…+12 degrees Celsius is expected.
In the 2025/2026 heating season, the operation of methane filling stations was already restricted several times due to falling temperatures. Propane stations continued to operate in winter, but queues formed at them, and as methane availability decreased, some motorists switched to gasoline.
