2164A greenhouse in the Ahangaron district of the Tashkent region was found to have illegally consumed natural gas worth 2.955 billion sums. This was reported by the joint-stock company "Hududgaztaminot."
During an inspection of the "A.I.B." farm’s greenhouse, located in the "Alisher" neighborhood of Ahangaron district, it was discovered that the consumer had removed the disposable gas cylinder and electronic gas metering device, enabling unauthorized gas usage.
"A report was drawn up on the violation, gas consumption was recalculated, and the total loss was determined to be 2.955 billion sums," the statement said.
Another case of illegal gas consumption was recorded in the Kibray district. A resident identified as N.D., living in an apartment in the Gulistan municipal district, had set up a greenhouse and connected it directly to the natural gas network before the meter, bypassing legal consumption. The recalculated loss in this case amounted to 49.673 million sums.
It should be recalled that between December 1, 2024, and February 15, 2025, authorities uncovered 167 cases of illegal gas usage across Uzbekistan, resulting in losses totaling 327 billion sums.
