The Bulgarian Commission for Energy and Water Regulation (KEVR) has approved a 2.5% reduction in the wholesale price of natural gas for September 2025. The new price is set at around 30.9 euros per megawatt-hour, excluding VAT and excise duty. In August, KEVR had already approved a 3.8% decrease.
The regulator’s decision was based on data provided by the public supplier Bulgargaz. The calculation includes the full volume of Azerbaijani gas supplied through the Bulgaria-Greece interconnector (IGB) under a long-term contract with Azerbaijan. These deliveries cover a significant portion of Bulgaria’s consumption and play a major role in securing more competitive prices for consumers.
Alongside pipeline imports, Bulgargaz has secured liquefied natural gas (LNG) volumes for September through contracts with trading companies. These contracts were awarded via a tender process that set conditions for minimum delivery prices and payment terms. The secured gas supplies will enable Bulgargaz to meet all its September obligations, including deliveries to end suppliers, district heating companies, and industrial clients under bilateral agreements.
