The Energy and Water Regulatory Commission (EWRC) will discuss today, June 24, a proposal by state-owned natural gas supplier Bulgargaz to increase the price of natural gas by 5.84% in July compared with June, according to the regulator's agenda.

The discussion will focus on a report concerning the public supplier's application for approval of the price at which Bulgargaz will sell natural gas next month to end suppliers and to companies licensed to produce and transmit thermal energy.

Bulgargaz has proposed a natural gas price of EUR 37.70 per megawatt-hour for July, excluding charges for access, transmission, excise duty and VAT. In June, the price is EUR 35.62/MWh.
