The wholesale price of natural gas in January was BGN 77.6/MWh after the regulator approved an 11.3% monthly cut.

In February, Bulgaria will receive natural gas from three different sources, including the entire contracted volumes of Caspian gas from Azerbaijan via the Greece-Bulgaria interconnector, the Energy and Water Regulatory Commission (EWRC) said in a statement.

The quantity will cover 42% of the country's consumption this month and has contributed to the more favorable pricing.
