Halle (dpa/sa) - Customers of the energy supplier EVH in Halle (Saale) can breathe a sigh of relief: The energy supplier is withdrawing the planned gas price adjustment. The Stadtwerke Halle company is canceling the gas price increase announced for November 1st, according to a press spokesman for the company. According to this, the working price announced in October will apply again, which will be reduced again due to the reduction in value added tax from 19 percent to 7 percent.
