From January 1, 2023, electricity compensation in Moldova is calculated only for consumers who have been assigned a very high category of energy vulnerability
This was announced by Premier Energy, noting that for them the compensated tariff is 3.3 lei per kWh. For other categories of household consumers, the price of electricity is 3.42 lei per kWh. Premier Energy notes that, in accordance with the Government Decree dated November 23, 2022, if prices/tariffs for the supply of energy for residential consumers are lower than the compensated prices/tariffs set in accordance with the category of energy vulnerability, suppliers do not apply compensation and supply energy at a price/ supply tariff for household consumers. As a result, consumers with a high category of energy vulnerability (3.7 lei/kWh) will not receive more compensation. As previously reported, for electricity compensation, the maximum limit is 75 kWh. It was agreed that with an electricity tariff of 5 to 6 lei per 1 kWh, citizens with very high vulnerability pay 3.7 lei per kWh, and citizens with high vulnerability - 4.2 lei per kWh. Since December 8, electricity prices have been reduced. For example, for residential consumers of Premier Energy, whose electrical installations are connected to low voltage distribution networks (0.4 kW), electricity prices decreased from 5.91 to 4.62 lei/kWh (-21.8%), and in this situation, end-users with very high energy vulnerability paid for electricity 3.3 lei per kWh, and those with high energy vulnerability - 3.7 lei kWh. From January 1, 2023, electricity prices were again reduced in Moldova. In particular, for residential consumers of Premier Energy, whose electrical installations are connected to low voltage distribution networks (0.4 kW), electricity prices decreased by 26% - from 4.62 to 3.42 lei/kWh. // 07.02.2023 — InfoMarket
