ArmInfo. Armenian Public Services Regulatory Commission has said
that gas, electric power and water tariffs will not change in Armenia
in 2008.

It also says that beginning from 1 May consumers will pay the same
tariff fixed in 2006 – 84 thsd drams for 1000 cubic meter of gas. The
tariff for the commerce consumers is $153.26.

Meanwhile the point is that till 1 May the gas tariff will be
subsidized by the government and the consumers will pay less. Thus,
for population gas is subsidized in an amount 25 thsd drams per 1000
cubic meter. For this reason in fact they pay 59 thsd drams instead
of 84 thsd. As for the commerce consumers, they are subsidized in an
amount of $52,01 per 1000 cubic meter, and they pay $101.25 instead
of the fixed $153.26.
