In Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus

Russia

The region chooses the method: pay only during the heating season or evenly over 12 months a year. If the building has a common heat meter, an annual adjustment is made based on actual use (Rules No. 354).

Kazakhstan

In Kazakhstan, heating is paid at the heat supplier's tariff per Gcal; the volume depends on floor area and whether there is a common building meter.

Belarus

In Belarus, the household heat tariff is approved by the Council of Ministers; in 2026 it was raised from 1 March and from 1 June.
