Bulgaria’s Ombudsman Diana Kovacheva requested information from outgoing Minister of Energy Alexander Nikolov on the readiness of the public supplier of natural gas to provide the district heating companies and the final suppliers of natural gas with the necessary gas quantities in the forthcoming heating season. 

"The information that Bulgaria is in a difficult situation with regard to the supply of natural gas for the domestic market, for non-household customers, households and district heating companies, is a matter of concern", Ombudsman Kovacheva wrote. Kovacheva notes that according to the Executive Director of Bulgargas, by July 6, 2022, no one knew what the price levels of natural gas would be in the winter season and whether there would be any gas at all.
