An average of 15 percent will increase household electricity prices if the energy regulator approves CEZ’s proposal to increase the cost of electricity. The opinion expressed to Darik the energy expert and member of the strategic council to President Elenko Bozhkov.

The electricity for companies that consume electricity at regulated prices will also appreciate, Bozhkov also said.

CEZ has proposed an increase in the price of electricity during the day by 3.5 percent, but in practice because of the idea of a night price increase of nearly 68 percent, the energy appreciation will be dramatic, according to the energy expert.

The three electricity distribution companies in Bulgaria CEZ, EVN and Energo Pro have submitted applications to the Energy and Water Regulatory Commission seeking new increase in the prices of electricity as of 1st of July, reports BNT and Novinite.com.

EVN proposes a 4.6% increase in the day tariff and by over 8% for the night.

The proposed increase by Energo Pro for the night tariffs is by 5% and over 2% for day energy.

Prices include network services and payments for access to electricity networks.
