The price of electricity for household consumers is expected to rise by 9% as of January 1 due to growing consumption, which requires the National Electricity Company to provide additional supplies, and also due to an increase in the price at which distributors of electricity buy it on the market, Plamen Mladenovski of the Energy and Water Regulatory Commission (EWRC) said on Wednesday. The matter was discussed at an open-door EWRC meeting and a subsequent public discussion.
