This was stated by Constantin Borosan, Director of the National Energy Regulatory Agency (ANRE), who noted that the energy regulator had reviewed Energocom’s application and published its detailed calculations on the ANRE website on July 22. Interested parties have 10 business days to submit proposals. He also noted that on February 3, when the current gas tariff for consumers was approved, the average purchase price was 404.24 euros per 1,000 cubic meters. Currently, gas purchase prices on exchanges stand at around 600 euros per 1,000 cubic meters, a significant increase caused by the military conflict in the Middle East. The purchase price of natural gas is the largest component of the tariff structure, accounting for 66%. Moldova is 100% dependent on hydrocarbon imports. Rising prices on the international market are also affecting our country. It was previously reported that ANRE plans to increase the gas tariff for residential consumers by 40.7%—from 13.35 to 18.79 lei per 1 cubic meter, excluding VAT (from 14.42 to 20.29 lei including 8% VAT). Energocom had previously asked ANRE to raise the gas rate for residential consumers by 45.2%—from 13.35 to 19.38 lei per cubic meter, excluding VAT (from 14.42 to 20.93 lei including VAT). The natural gas rate for residential consumers was last adjusted in early February 2026, and as of February 4, the natural gas rate for residential consumers was reduced by 13.9% — from 15.5 to 13.35 lei per cubic meter, excluding VAT (from 16.74 lei to 14.42 lei, including VAT). // 24.07.2026 – InfoMarket.
