October 1 (SeeNews) - Bulgaria's energy regulator said that it has approved a 0.11% decrease in the regulated wholesale gas price for the fourth quarter of 2019, in line with the proposal of state-owned gas supplier Bulgargaz.
The new price will be 44.85 levs ($25.0/22.9 euro) per MWh, free of VAT and excise, the Energy and Water Regulatory Commission said in a statement on Monday.
Bulgarian energy regulations require Bulgargaz to set the gas price quarterly, taking into account global oil prices and the lev/dollar exchange rate.
The Energy and Water Regulatory Commission has the final say on proposed changes in the wholesale price, at which the company sells natural gas to end-suppliers and customers directly connected to its transmission network.
(1 euro = 1.95583 levs)
