At its meeting, the Energy and water regulatory commission (EWRC) adopted a decision by which it urgently demanded information from the state-owned companies regarding the measures they are undertaking to prevent a crisis with natural gas supplies during the winter season.
The Commission obliged the Public Supplier “Bulgargaz” to publish information on the necessary monthly quantities of natural gas, as well as the necessary capacities through cross-border transmission facilities to the Bulgarian market to cover consumption for the period of the next 12 months. The aim is all market participants to have the necessary information and enough time to submit their best supply offers to Bulgargaz. The public supplier should keep this information up-to-date on its website and on the information platform of Balkan Gas Hub.
In compliance with the decision of EWRC, Bulgargaz published the quantities of natural gas it requires by month:
| Year | Month | Quantities of natural gas [MWh/month] |
| 2022 | September | – |
| October | – | |
| November | 394 676.500 | |
| December | 449 171.679 | |
| Total | 843 848.179 |
Bulgargaz urges: “In case you have available quantities of natural gas, please send a binding offer to e-mail: hq@bulgargaz.bg”
