The price for September, approved by the Commission for Energy and Water Regulation (KEVR), stands at 35.5 euros/MWh. The calculations for November are based on the data available on 10 September 2021.

In March 2020, Bulgargaz and Gazprom Export have finalized an agreement on 40.3 % reduction of the price at which Russia supplies natural gas to Bulgaria, backdated to 5 August 2019.
