August 5 (SeeNews) - Bulgaria's deliveries of natural gas amounted to 200 million cubic metres in May 2022, a decrease of 14.5% year-on-year and down 1.0% on the previous month, the statistical office said.
The country's own output of natural gas totalled 2 million cu m in May, unchanged from the same month of 2021 and the same as in April, the National Statistical Institute (NSI) said in a statement last week.
Electricity production went up by an annual 8.4% in the fifth month of this year, reaching 3,624 GWh. That represented a monthly decline of 12.0%. In late April, Bulgaria's Kozloduy NPP shut down one of its two 1,000-MW units for planned annual maintenance, which was completed on May 30.
Electricity deliveries ticked up 1.9% on an annual comparison basis to 2,457 GWh in May, while deliveries of oil products rose to 359,000 tonnes from 347,000 tonnes a year earlier.
The country's oil products output rose to 669,000 tonnes in May from 495,000 tonnes in the same month of 2021 and compared to 539,000 tonnes in April.
