The Russian energy giant Gazprom has prepared a package of gas price offers for Bulgaria providing for their lowering by 5% to 7%.
The information was reported Saturday by the Russian news agency ITAR-TASS in the wake of the visit of Russian Prime Minister, Vladimir Putin, to Sofia for a round of crucial energy talks with Bulgarian counterpart, Boyko Borisov.
The reduction is made possible by taking into account latest gas prices while Russia and Bulgaria have reached a prior agreement to eliminate intermediaries in the delivery of Russian gas, effective from January, 2012, the report points out.
It was also negotiated that by June 30m 2011, Gazprom will sign a direct, long-term contract with Bulgargaz for gas supply, guaranteeing Bulgarian consumers' needs and under conditions no worse than those that can be provided to any other potential buyer.
According to ITAR-TASS, the volume of transit gas to Bulgaria would reach 23 B cubic meters by 2030, compared to the current 15.5 B cubic meters.
