By the end of the current heating season, the debt of the Sofia Heating District Company (Sofia Heating District, which is responsible for the heat supply of Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria) to the state gas supplier Bulgargaz will exceed one billion euros (more than 91 billion ₽), said the head of Bulgargaz, Georgiy Tatarsky, at the meeting of the Energy Committee.
According to him, the debt of the district heating of Sofia to gas already amounts to 900 million euros. At the same time, 800 million euros are overdue debts.
"Bolgargaz is not a bank or a company that issues short-term loans. We charge statutory interest on late payments to encourage payment for natural gas delivered," Tatarsky said. The interest rate on the debt to Bulgaria was 11.91% until the end of 2025 and decreased to 10.40% from 2026.
