“We have received offers and we are negotiating the price. If we manage to secure additional quantities of natural gas at a lower price, we will reduce the quantity that is pumped out of the gas storage facility in Chiren, which will allow us to keep the price lower”, Minister Hristov noted.

Our position is that this cap should not exceed EUR 150 per megawatt hour," said Rosen Hristov.
