The tariff for natural gas for ordinary consumers in Armenia is increasing by AMD 4.7 per cubic meter beginning from April 1, amounting to AMD 143.7.

The Public Services Regulatory Commission (PSRC) made a decision based on an application from Gazprom Armenia back in March.

Gazprom Armenia proposed setting a single price in the amount of AMD 135.6 per cubic meter, but the public regulator made its own calculations and decided to leave the tariff for vulnerable groups of the society unchanged at AMD 100 drams per cubic meter, and to increase the gas tariff by 4.7 AMD to AMD 143.7 for ordinary consumers.

For large consumers (more than 10,000 cubic meters per month) and businesses, PSRC has provided for a tariff increase of approximately 4%, and for greenhouses more than 4%.
