In Chisinau, the tariff for heat supplied by Termoelectrica was reduced by 310 lei (-9%) - from 3577 to 3267 lei per gigacalorie.
This decision was made by the National Agency for Energy Regulation at a meeting on June 27. At the same time, the regulated price for electricity produced by Termoelectrica is increased by 5 bani per kWh (+1%) from 393 to 398 bani per kWh. As noted in the NAER, this adjustment of tariffs was influenced by the following factors: the production activity of the enterprise, which began in June of this year, with the exception of fuel oil and the full use of natural gas for energy production; a sharp increase in the share of spending on the purchase of natural gas in the total cost of fuel needed for electricity generation, from 19% to 59%; reduction in the share of expenses for the purchase of fuel oil for power generation from 81% to 41%; inclusion in the price structure and tariff of 7,000 tons of fuel oil from state reserves in the amount of 208 million 609 thousand 219 lei, which is equivalent to the cost of substituted natural gas. It should be noted that the last time NAER changed the tariff for heat supplied to consumers by Termoelectrica was on February 28 this year, increasing it then by 25.3% - up to 3577 lei per gigacalorie. And the regulated price for electricity from Termoelectrica was then reduced by 61 bani per kWh (-14%) to 393 bani per kWh. The NAER decision on the new tariffs will come into force after being published in Monitorul Oficial.//27.06.2023 — InfoMarket.
