Armenian Gas Consumers to Pay 52.5% More from April 10

From April 10 the Armenian gas consumers will pay $162,95 for thousand cubic meters instead of $168,4 offered by ArmRosgazprom. The consumers utilizing less than 10000 cubic meters of gas will pay 90 drams (20 cents) for a cubic meter what exceeds the current tariff with 31 drams. The consumers utilizing more than 10000 cubic meters of gas (companies in energy sector) will pay a sum equivalent to $146,51 for 1000 cubic meters. Thus, the rise in price will make 52,5% for the population and 85,2% for the enterprises. The revision of the tariffs is conditioned by the double rise in price (from $56 to $110) for the Russian gas imported to Armenia.
