Electricity regime is being introduced in two cities in northeastern Bulgaria and the surrounding villages. The reasons are unbearably high bills, unbearable for local municipalities. The increase is threefold, he said NOVA.
That is why a serious measure is being introduced in the municipality of Valchi Dol. Mayor Pepa Pencheva says that the electricity bill for November is three times higher – over BGN 20,000, and for December over BGN 40,000.
