According to a SEWRC’s decision of 28 March 2013, the price of the natural gas falls by 3.89% since the beginning of April, considering also a proposed reduction of 3.22% by Bulgartransgaz. The captive price for connection to the gas transmission network will be 630.94 BGN/mcm before excise duty and VAT and for connection to the gas distribution network it will be 638.66 BGN/mcm before excise duty and VAT. The 630.94 BGN/mcm price is based on a 595.62 BGN/mcm price of the natural gas at the entry point of the gas transmission network, 7.50 BGN/mcm surcharge and 19.73 BGN/mcm for a transmission over the gas transmission network and the latest two fugures remain almost unchanged.
