site.btaRegulator Reviews Bulgargaz Proposal for Over 3% Cut in Natural Gas Price in January

The Energy and Water Regulatory Commission (EWRC) discussed at an open meeting on Monday Bulgargaz’s proposal to reduce the price of natural gas by 3.33% for January 2026 compared with December 2025.

Bulgargaz has proposed a natural gas price for January of BGN 60.91/MWh (EUR 31.16/MWh), excluding access, transmission, excise duty and VAT. The regulator approved a natural gas price for December of BGN 63.01/MWh, or EUR 32.22/MWh, also excluding access, transmission, excise duty and VAT. This means that the price proposed by Bulgargaz for January is 3.33% lower than the December price.

The EWRC is expected to take a final decision on the price at a closed meeting on December 30.
