YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 5, NOYAN TAPAN. Starting from April 1, the natural
gas and electricity tariffs will rise in Armenia due to an increase
in the price of gas supplied by Russia. Based on it, the drinking
water tariff will also grow, the chairman of the RA Public Services
Regulatory Commission Robert Nazarian stated at the February 5 sitting
of the National Assembly when he presented the 2009 program of the
commission's activities.
He said that the commission must approve the new tariffs of natural
gas and electricity and will inform the public about it by late
February. R. Nazarian avoided making forecasts about the the size
of the new gas tariff as the negotiations between Russian side and
ArmRusgazprom have not finished yet. In his words, "the gas price may
be not so much noticeable for households, the price will increase
to some extent for other subscribers, and, of course, it will also
cause some problems in energy sector".
