Cuba Dispatch: Cuba blames blockade for 64% gas riseBackground
Resolution 156/2026 is a decree from Cuba's Ministry of Finance and Prices, effective 16 July 2026, that revised tariffs for piped and manufactured gas. It arrived as the companion measure to Resolution 155/2026, which lifted the cost of a household's 10kg cooking-gas refill from 213 to 350 Cuban pesos, a jump of 64 per cent, for 1.7 million contracted customers outside Havana in the main.
The ministry attributed both measures to the 'recrudecimiento del bloqueo', the escalating US blockade, rather than to internal supply management. The package landed during a period in which Cuba's National Grid had already suffered three total collapses in eight days, framing the tariff revision as part of a broader domestic energy price adjustment rather than an isolated gas-sector decision.
The specific new piped-gas tariff figures were not published in the state-media sweep that accompanied the announcement, so the scale of this resolution's own increase relative to the 64 per cent bottled-gas rise under Resolution 155/2026 remains unestablished.
