Energy Ministry sets GASCO’s regulatory profit margins

GASCO says new profit margins will take effect from Jan. 1, 2026.

The National Gas and Industrialization Co. (GASCO) received a notice from the Ministry of Energy specifying profit margins for the related operational activities of its subsidiaries, based on the nature of each activity.

The activities include transportation, filling and storage, central tank filling, and the retail sale of cylinders. The profit margins will take effect on Jan. 1, 2026.

In a statement to Tadawul, the company said the decision is expected to have a positive impact on its results starting from the first quarter of 2026.

GASCO said it will conduct a study to assess the expected financial impact and will announce the results once the study is completed.

According to data available on Argaam, GASCO unified today, Jan. 1, prices for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)—used for filling gas cylinders and central tanks—across all regions of Saudi Arabia. The move is in line with the governance procedures for adjusting energy and water product prices.

Under the unified pricing structure, the filling price of an 11 kg cylinder has been set at SAR 26.23, while a 5 kg cylinder will cost SAR 11.93. In addition, the filling tariff for central tanks has been fixed at SAR 1.177 per liter. All prices include transportation fees and value-added tax (VAT).
