Earlier Veaceslav Untila, director general of the National Energy Regulatory Agency noted that electricity tariffs in Moldova could be increased in two stages for final consumers. The next stage of increase of the electricity tariff is expected after April 1, when a new electricity supply contract will be signed, the new purchase price and the amount of negative deviations of electricity distribution companies will be known. It should be noted that the last adjustment of electricity tariffs for final consumers of Moldova was made in late January 2021.
