The Energy and Water Regulatory Commission will not allow a drastic increase in electricity, assured the head of the regulator Ivan Ivanov. He predicts that the 1 July increase will be within inflation - about 3.6%.

Yesterday, energy companies have requested an increase ranging from 2% for the day to over 50% of the night.

,,The increase in electricity in July will be within the annual inflation rate, which is within 3 or slightly over 3 percent'', the Chairman of the Energy and Water Regulatory Commission (KEVR) Ivan Ivanov told journalists after a discussion about the electricity theft, reported BTA. 
"The increase in electricity will be far from what electricity companies want," Ivanov said.

According to preliminary data, a modest growth of 1.55% is expected in the number of tourists in this part of the country, Ivan Ivanov, President of the Regional Tourism Chamber in Burgas, told Focus Radio. The forecast is based on planned flights, according to data at the end of March.

The price of the heating in Bulgaria will not change as of January 1, because a 4 percent increase in the price of natural gas is expected for the first quarter of 2019.

The gas infrastructure in Bulgaria needs to be developed. This is what the Chairman of the Energy and Water Regulatory Commission (KEVR) Ivan Ivanov said at a conference in Sofia. This will allow for the supply of natural gas from different sources.

Electricity and heating prices will not change until the end of the heating season, the chair of the Energy and Water Regulatory Commission Ivan Ivanov said on 13th of November after the regulator's meeting in relation to Bulgargaz's announcement about price increase of the natural gas by nearly 5% in the first quarter of the new year, reports BNT.
