The price of a bottle of butane gas is set to drop by €3 as from April 1st, a decrease of 22.4%. The new price will be €10.50.
The decrease, part of the quarterly review of energy prices, was announced today by the Minister of Industry, Miguel Sebastián. The formula for calculating the price takes into account freight charges, raw materials and the value of the euro against the dollar.
The decrease will mean a saving of around €72 per year for the average household. The price of natural gas is also set to come down, although no specific figure has yet been announced.
