YEREVAN, April 27. /ARKA/. Armenia's national natural gas distribution company Gazprom Armenia is preparing to ask the Public Services Regulation Commission (PSRC) to allow it to cut the price of natural gas for households and enterprises by about 6%, a spokeswoman for the Russian-owned company, Shushan Sardaryan, said to ARKA today.



She said more specifically the company plans to cut the price of one cubic meter of natural gas for households, which consumer less than 10,000 cubic meters a year, from 156 to 146.7 drams (a decrease of 6%).



The price for companies, which consume more than 10 thousand cubic meters a month is proposed to reduce from $276.98 to $257.56 for one thousand cubic meters in dram equivalent (including VAT) at the rate of Central Bank on the 25th of each previous month.



In early April, Russia has reduced the price of gas for Armenia from $165 to $150 per thousand cubic meters.



Russia is the main supplier of natural gas to Armenia, delivered by transit through the territory of Georgia. --0 ---
