The Energy and Water Regulatory Commission approved the price of natural gas for November in the amount of 65.82 BGN/MWh or 33.65 EUR/MWh, excluding access, transmission, excise and VAT prices. At this price, „Bulgargaz“ EAD will sell natural gas to end suppliers and to persons who have been issued a license for the production and transmission of heat energy.
The regulator approved the price after an analysis of the current data submitted by „Bulgargaz“ EAD. The price mix includes the entire agreed quantity of Azerbaijani natural gas supplied via the „Bulgaria - Greece“ (IGB) interconnector, according to the long-term contract with Azerbaijan. These quantities cover a significant part of the consumption and play an important role in achieving a favorable price for the blue fuel. “Bulgargaz“ has provided quantities of liquefied natural gas for November under contracts concluded with traders after an organized auction with requirements for a minimum delivery price and a proposed payment method.
The approved price of natural gas includes: the component price of natural gas at the entrance to the gas transmission networks, the component for the activity “public supply“ under Art. 17, Para. 7 of the NRCPG and the component for compensation of costs under Art. 11a, Para. 2 of the NRCPG, covering the costs of “Bulgargaz“ EAD for storing quantities in the gas storage facility in “Chiren“ in fulfillment of obligations under the Emergency Action Plan.
With the provided quantities, the public supplier covers its commitments for November to end suppliers and district heating companies, as well as under bilateral contracts with industrial customers. Gas supplies have been agreed for the entire winter season and if there is no significant increase in demand in the region, the price may remain around current levels, which would ensure price stability for Bulgarian consumers.
The decision of the EWRC to approve the price of natural gas for November 2025 has been published on the regulator's website.
