The Ministry of Antimonopoly Regulation and Trade has set new prices for natural gas. Resolution No. 10 of February 18 has been officially published on the National Legal Internet Portal. It enters into force upon publication and applies to relations that arose from February 1, 2025.
Prices for gas supplied by Beltopgaz organizations to entities that operate dormitories — for the portion of gas used by residents — as well as to religious organizations and institutions using gas for family-type orphanages, children’s villages and hospices have been set as follows.
With individual gas heating equipment:
- 21.25 kopecks per cubic meter until February 28;
- 22.26 kopecks per cubic meter from March 1;
- 22.75 kopecks per cubic meter from June 1.
Without individual gas heating equipment:
- 54.77 kopecks per cubic meter until February 28;
- 58.6 kopecks per cubic meter from March 1.
Gas prices for legal entities and individual entrepreneurs were calculated based on a calorific value of 7,900 kcal per cubic meter and an exchange rate of 3.7456 Belarusian rubles per 100 Russian rubles. Prices for 2025 had previously been calculated using a lower exchange rate of 3.3488 Belarusian rubles per 100 Russian rubles.
The price of 1,000 cubic meters of gas will amount to 847.09 rubles this year for consumption of up to 600 million cubic meters in 2025, which is 122.05 rubles more than at the beginning of last year.
