/PanARMENIAN.Net/ 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.
