The Energy and Water Regulatory Commission (EWRC) set the price for natural gas in June at BGN 64.32 per MWh, excluding access, transmission, excise, and VAT costs, the EWRC said here on Friday.

At this price, state-owned gas supplier Bulgargaz will provide natural gas to end suppliers and entities licensed to produce and transmit heating energy. The EWRC said that the decision was made after analyzing updated data submitted by Bulgargaz.

The price mix includes the entire volume of Azeri natural gas, delivered via the Greece-Bulgaria interconnector (IGB) under the long-term contract with Azerbaijan. These volumes cover a significant portion of energy consumption and play a key role in securing a favourable price for natural gas, EWRC said. Bulgargaz has signed two contracts for liquefied natural gas supplies with traders, following a tender that required a minimum delivery price and a proposed payment method.
