Bulgaria utilities regulator lowers gas prices by 0.1% for June 2025
Bulgaria’s utilities regulator has approved a 0.1 per cent decrease in the regulated gas price in the country for the month of June, setting the new price at 64.32 leva a MWh, excluding transportation costs, excise and value-added tax.
The minimal price cut is the third in as many months, but still leaves the regulated price of natural gas above the level recorded the same month of 2024, when the Energy and Water Regulatory Commission (EWRC) set a price of 59.55 leva a MWh.
Although the regulator did not give a reason for its decision, it is generally linked to the reference price on the TTF gas hub in the Netherlands, which serves as the main European price benchmark.
Domestic consumption for May will be covered by gas received under the long-term contract with Azerbaijan, as well as liquefied natural gas (LNG) delivered under previously agreed contracts, the regulator said.
