The moratorium on electricity, heating and water prices, which expires on March 31st, would not be extended, Minister of Finance Assen Vassilev announced. The regulator has been calculating a price that is to take effect after the moratorium expires.

According to Assen Vassilev, rise in the price of electricity and heating for households was not expected. There would be no drastic rise in heating prices as a result of the higher price of natural gas, he said. The minister added that there were no indications of reduced pressure in deliveries of natural gas.
