Gas supply protection: new rules for priority consumers

The act introduces detailed rules for protecting natural gas supplies during crisis situations. It defines priority consumer groups who will not face supply cuts even during shortages, and establishes procedures for limiting consumption for other users.
Key points
Introduction of 'protected consumers' category – a priority list of gas users exempt from supply restrictions: households, hospitals, schools, nurseries, social care homes, small businesses and farmers.
Obligation for gas companies to prepare plans ensuring continuous supply to protected consumers during energy crises.
New rules for limiting gas consumption: gradual restrictions for industry and large consumers, with exclusion of healthcare, education and social assistance sectors.
Requirement to install smart gas meters in new buildings, enabling more accurate billing and savings.
Expanded possibility for more entities to delegate mandatory gas stock maintenance to the Strategic Reserves Agency.
