The price of central heating and heat energy will go down by 14% for the new autumn-winter season, the chairman of the Commission for Energy and Water Regulation Ivan Ivanov has announced. 
For Sofia, the price will drop even more - by about 15 %. Do not believe in everything that is written. People need to be calm. The only goal is to cause panic, Ivanov added, after earlier Prime Minister Boyko Borissov said he would discuss a change in the management board of the state regulator. 
According to Borissov, an increase is unacceptable, given that a 42% reduction in the price of gas has been agreed with Gazprom.
