Energy Regulator
Lowers Natural Gas Price
by 0.6% in Q3


Sofia, June 28 (BTA) - The Energy and Water Regulatory Commission (EWRC) decided to reduce the natural gas price by 0.6 per cent in the third quarter (Q3) of 2019, the regulator said here on Friday.

The natural gas price for Q3 is set at 44.90 lv/MWh, exclusive of charges for access, transmission, excise duty and VAT, which is 0.6 per cent less than the price in the second quarter of 2019, EWRC reported.

The natural gas price set by the Commission does not include charges for accessing and using the natural gas transmission network, which customers have to pay to end suppliers.

When setting the natural gas price, EWRC takes into account the terms and conditions of the agreement between Bulgargaz EAD and OOO Gazprom Export, the changes in the USD to BGN exchange rate, the calorific value and quantities fo natural gas for the relevant quarter, the regulator explained. LN/MY
