Armenia started receiving Iranian gas through the pipeline on May 15, 2009. Gas deliveries were agreed on the \u201cGas in exchange for electricity\u201d principle, ARKA reports.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Public Services Regulatory Commission, Armenia imported over 2.4 billion cubic meters of gas in 2012, of them over 1.9 billion were from Russia and 488.3 million from Iran.<br \/>On May 14, Armenia-based ArmRosgazprom CJSC and Transgaz Ltd. requested Armenia\u2019s Public Services Regulatory Commission to re-evaluate the current natural gas tariff.<\/p>\n<p>At present, the monthly tariff for consumers is 132 drams (including VAT) per 1,000 cubic meters for those who consume up to 10,000 cubic meters per month.<\/p>\n<p>The request submitted by ArmRosgazprom states that the company, in accordance with the agreement with Gazprom, has been paying $270 per 1,000 cubic meters at the border since 1 April. The minister, however, says Armenia is and will be paying $180 until the talks over the tariffs are finished.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vestnik Kavkaza- Armenia is not buying gas from Iran because of its high cost compared to Russian fuel, the Prime Minister of Armenia, Tigran Sargsyan, said. &ldquo;If we are able [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[175],"class_list":{"0":"post-13827","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-economy","7":"tag-updated"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
