This was stated by the Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Infrastructure and Regional Development of Moldova Andrei Spinu, noting that in the coming days Moldovagaz will submit to the National Agency for Energy Regulation a package of documents for revising tariffs for end consumers. He explained that the tariff for consumers will increase, because the purchase price of natural gas from Gazprom has increased, in addition, certain missing volumes of gas were purchased at a higher market price, and the dollar rate against the leu also increased. “In the next 2-3 days, we have a commitment that Moldovagaz will apply to the National Agency for Energy Regulation with a request to raise tariffs, and the government will help citizens and provide them with a support package to help cover the difference in tariffs. But the tariff itself should be adjusted in November, ”said Andrei Spinu. According to him, the government will develop measures to compensate for the increase in tariffs for the population, and, by agreement with Gazprom, in order to prevent further growth of debt for gas, the National Emergency Situations Commission will soon take a decision on the allocation of additional financial resources for consumers to pay for natural gas from the right bank Dniester costs associated with the implementation of natural gas supplies in October and November 2021.
