May 1 (BTA) - Bulgaria's Energy and Water Regulatory
Commission (EWRC) set the price of natural gas at 37.71
leva/MWh, as of May 1 (excluding access and transmission fees,
excise duty and VAT), the Regulator informed on Saturday.

The higher price of natural gas in May is due to a price hike on
 the international markets, but it will not affect the prices of
 heating and electric energy, they will remain unchanged.
