Parliament adopted the law "On Energy and Water Supply" in an expedited manner, which grants GNERC the authority to set different tariffs for household consumers based on the volume consumed. According to the law, GNERC will be authorized to set differentiated tariffs for water supply until January 1, 2036, and for natural gas until January 1, 2038. According to publika, according to the explanatory note of the draft law, the change does not alter the basic principles of tariff regulation and aims to reduce social risks. Publika+2
