According to the NBU, a gradual review of tariffs is expected to begin in 2026. This step is necessary to align them with economically justified levels and to maintain stability in the energy sector.

Experts warn that prolonged delays in adjusting tariffs could lead to financial difficulties for state energy companies, forcing the energy system to operate under significant strain.
