YEREVAN, MAY 31, ARMENPRESS. “Gazprom Armenia” Director Vardan Harutyunyan says the 9.3 AMD decrease in consumer gas tariff is the best that could be done by the company.

When asked about the price formation, as to the gas price is a lot cheaper at the border compared to the consumer price, the Director said: “The final tariff is formed in line with Armenian legislations. Various factors impact this process – maintenance, exploitation costs, investments, which should be done for a reliable future gas supply”.

The Public Services Regulatory Commission unanimously adopted the new prices for the “GazProm Armenia” CJSC consumer gas prices.

For consumers of up to 10,000 cubic meters of gas monthly, the price is set to 146,700 (previously 156,000) AMD for 1000 cubic meters.
