"The proposal was sent to the government and tomorrow the government will decide," he said when asked by the press about the announced electricity price rise, confirming that the government would also discuss a proposal to raise the price of gas.
The HEP power company last week confirmed submitting a demand for a higher electricity price.
The media have speculated that HEP demands a 22 per cent increase for households and that the government could agree to about 15 per cent.
Some media have also announced that the government could decide about raising the gas price for households, while keeping until the end of June the preferential price for the industry.
