Bulgargaz expects the price of natural gas next month to be 5 to 6% lower as compared to April. During an open meeting at the Energy and Water Regulatory Commission, the initially proposed price of EUR29.12 per megawatt-hour was reduced to EUR28.36. The final price will depend on the auctions that will take place on April 30 on the Balkan Gas Hub platform, as deliveries through the Alexandroupolis LNG terminal would be delayed by 20 days. 

On the other hand, the price of natural gas at the Dutch exchange costs EUR 28.5, which may lower the price in May, said EWRC Chairman Ivan Ivanov. The final decision will be made at the meeting on May 1.
