Electricity consumption for July increased by 1.5 to 3.5 times compared to the previous month, announced Radostin Dachev, chairman of the "Hoteliers' Club" association. in the municipality of Nessebar. According to him, an increase from 28 cents to 60 cents in electricity prices is reported, and the 24-hour working hours of hotels creates a particular difficulty. "The morning price is lower than the evening price, but we pay both," he pointed out.
Dachev announced that he has sent a notification to the European Commission in connection with the provision of compensation to non-domestic end customers of electricity. However, an answer is expected to be received in about two to three months, he added. After the end of the summer season, there is no way to deduct the expenses and we cannot find compensation for the next season, said the hotelier.
The electricity bills we paid for the last month are higher by about 40 percent compared to the previous month, hotelier Jancho Parushev said before the meeting. In connection with the ordinance voted by the Council of Ministers to provide compensation to non-domestic end customers of electricity, he noted: "This can be resolved quickly because there is enough money in the energy efficiency fund. We are in high season and we need this money to pay salaries, insurance and any supplies." According to him, the hotels are not facing bankruptcy, but the additional charging of electricity costs is incorrect and incorrect. "It cannot be with the increase in temperature and our consumption that it increases so much. I look at my consumption for the previous and next month. The differences are small, so this is not done correctly. Everywhere in commercial practice, when you consume or buy more, there is a commercial discount. There is no such thing here," explained Parushev.
Yancho Parushev announced that a protest has been announced for August 27, from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. at the intersection for the village of Tankovo on the Burgas - Sunny Beach road.
