Tbilisi, Georgia, Feb. 2
By Nana Kirtzkhalia - Trend:
Natural gas will become more expensive for the commercial sector in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi as of March 1.
The gas distribution company KazTransGas - Tbilisi has already begun to notify subscribers and requires concluding new contracts; otherwise, the company will turn off the gas.
The cost of gas for non-domestic customers will be 0.90 tetri ($1 = 1.99 lari) per cubic meter.
A letter of the special manager of KazTransGas - Tbilisi, Gia Benashvili, which is sent to the subscribers with the contract, states that the subscribers must sign a new contract before February 7.
An increase in gas tariff for commercial structures will affect the price of products, experts believe.
However, the agriculture minister, Otar Danelia assured that the increase in gas price will not cause a rise in price of bread.
