All energy companies have demanded an increase in prices, according to Alexander Yordanov of the EWRC, who was heard in the parliamentary energy committee.

According to GERB, the increases requested by the companies are over 100%.

Deputy Minister of Energy Plamen Danailov commented on the topic in the program "Speak Now" on BNT.

At the moment, the supply of natural gas has not been stopped,

he stressed.

At this stage there is no gas supply from Russia to Greece and this gas flows through Bulgaria.

The price at which we pay it is not less profitable,

Danailov was categorical.

We are a worthy and consistent, predictable partner.

So, we respect the sanctions that were imposed, Danailov added.

At the moment there are no problems with the supply of natural gas and the price is within relatively normal limits, as it would be even if we received it under our long-term contracts.

Bulgaria hosted the first meeting of the EU-wide Working Group on the Common Gas Supply Mechanism, so all topics will certainly be discussed at the next meeting.

We are fulfilling our obligations by sending our requests to Gazprom to fulfill their obligations for supplies, which they do not do, the deputy minister explained.

We are fulfilling our part of the contract correctly

, Danailov was categorical.

No agreement has been reached so far on the supply of Russian oil,

Danailov said.

According to him, Bulgaria should be included in the list of derogations if this option is reached.

Danailov said talks on sanctions and tariffs on Russian oil were still very early and there were no estimates.

No national position has been developed.

Danailov also commented on the issue of the high price of electricity and what it is expected to be for July.

First, the EWRC will consider the proposals, he explained.

According to him, the forthcoming increase will be selected by the compensatory measures taken.

Even if it rises by several tens of percent, after the reduction of VAT, the general increase will not be so great.

The details are important.

A 20-25% price increase is possible, but if you deduct the VAT, the general price increase will not be shocking either for household consumers or for business, Danailov believes.

As of July 1, the contracts for gas supply with Azerbaijan will be implemented at 100%,

the Deputy Minister is categorical.

Deliveries will currently be made via virtual punctuality, and then via the interconnector with Greece.
