After an open meeting of the commission he stated: “Bulgarian citizens who have central heating must rest assured that there will be no change in the price of thermal energy until the end of the heating season.”

The price of natural gas in February is going to be nearly 30% lower than in January, which is good news for industry, Ivan Ivanov stated and added he hoped the tendency of a low price for natural gas will keep until the end of the year.
