The National Commission for Energy, Housing and Utilities Services Regulation (NCER) has annulled its decision to introduce the customer charge for gas distribution for its revision.The decision was made at a meeting on April 10.
As reported, the commission on March 28, 2017 decided to introduce the customer charge for gas distribution. The new system envisages the separation of the transportation and distribution tariffs from the price of gas as a commodity. According to the commission's decision, each consumer will pay a fixed fee depending on the largest capacity of their meters irrespective of the volume of consumption every month. The price of gas bought by consumers would not include the cost of transportation and distribution.
