2008 Bulgarian energy crisis

The 2008 Bulgarian energy crisis emerged in late 2008, leaving over one million households—especially in Sofia, but also in Burgas, Pleven, and Vratsa—without centrally supplied gas heating due to mounting debts between Toplofikacia and Bulgargas, which led to disruptions in Russian gas deliveries; the shortage persisted into late September, but gas supplies were fully restored by January 2009 following the resolution of payment and supply disputes. == Background == Bulgaria imports natural gas from Russia.
