For the consumers it will make 132AMD per 1m3 instead of current 96AMD, a rise of 37.5 percent.
For the enterprises, consuming over 10,000 m3 a month the rate will be $243.13 per 1,000 m3 instead of present $215, increasing by 13 percent.
Starting April 1, the price of Russian gas for Armenia will rise to $180 per 1,000 m3 instead of current $154, but for some reasons the consumers should pay as much as $360.
Presumably, starting April 1, the electricity rate will also increase.
