- Bulgarian PM Boyko Borisov has vowed that his government will try to compensate Bulgaria's poorest for a raise in the price of electricity that is to enter in force Sunday.
Bulgaria's energy regulator, the State Commission for Energy and Water Regulation, announced Friday that the price hike will be as high as 13%, not the expected 10%, which were already seen as too steep.
"
There are some 300,000 poor people in Bulgaria whom the Ministry of Labor and Social policy has to help via energy aid so that they don't feel this raising of electricity prices,"
stated PM Borisov Saturday.
The Bulgarian PM went on to blame for the price hike on regulatory requirements for the production and sale of renewable energy.
According to Borisov, the renewable energy component is excessive and has not been adequately priced in what he termed "
criminal and lobbyist"
legislation passed under the previous, tripartite coalition cabinet led by the Bulgarian Socialist Party

Fantastic!! love you line of thought here TNT1 only which that could happen, but yes indeed add all our names to you memo.  This really is a huge increase, nobody likes to hear of increases in any area but how on earth do they expect people who are struggling at the moment to make ends meet, to then find this extra money  The mind boggles at their logic!
