“Next week we will start selling natural gas to households, and it means that households will have an alternative choice also in the natural gas market,” he said.
Asked why Latvenergo did not enter the natural gas market for households sooner, Bariss said that the open gas market developed gradually. First the company started selling gas to legal entitities and now has about 400 corporate customers.
Speaking about Elektrum advantages, Briss said that it will be additional service and convenient payments. In his words, natural gas price offered by Elektrum will be competitive.
In five years Elektrum plans to win 5-10% of the household market, said Bariss.
