Bulgaria's
energy regulator has decided to raise electricity prices by about 13%
and natural gas bills by 4.88% as of July 1.The hike of electricity prices is bigger
than the initially announced 10%.
The price adjustment is due to the so
called green energy tariff add-on, Angel Semerdjiev said during a
parliamentary sitting on Friday.
The increase in natural gas prices is
below the nearly 16% hike requested by the state-run gas monopoly
Bulgargaz.
The energy regulator reviews electricity
prices on a yearly basis and gas prices on a quarterly basis.
