The Energy and Water Regulatory Commission has accepted the reduction in the price of natural gas supplied to Bulgaria by Russiaas of the beginning of January, by 1.81 percent compared to the previous quarter of the year.
The change came about after the Bulgarian company Bulgargaz signed a contract with the Russian Gazprom Export on 30 December, by force of which, as of 1 January, Russian gas deliveries to Bulgaria are being made along theTurkStream natural gas pipeline acrossTurkey instead of across Romania. This will save over EUR 35 million a year. According to Energy Minister Temenuzhka Petkova, the drop in the price of gas could reach 5 percent later this year.
