In April, Energocom will reduce the price of natural gas supplied to Moldovagaz from 550 to 450 euros per 1 thousand cubic meters.
The state company Energocom reported this, noting that this decision was due to the purchase of gas in April at a lower cost, and it was agreed upon with the Public Property Agency, which is the sole shareholder of Energocom. The company's statement notes that Energocom has completed the purchase of the required volumes of gas for April, in accordance with the provisions of the Commission for Emergency Situations and the request of the Moldovagaz company. At the auction held on April 4, more than 30 million cubic meters of gas were purchased at a price lower than that offered by Gazprom for Moldovagaz. In addition to the corresponding gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) purchased in test mode in the first 2 days of April, the rest of the current month's consumption needs will be covered by Energocom from gas reserves created at the beginning of the cold season 2023-2024. “The very good price at which we made purchases in the last few days will allow us to reduce the selling price of gas for Moldovagaz JSC. We hope that in the near future we will have an equally favorable price situation on the market,” said Acting Director of Energocom Victor Binzari. According to the decision of the Commission for Emergency Situations of December 27, 2023, from January to April 2024, Energocom sells natural gas to Moldovagaz at 550 euros per 1 thousand cubic meters. Based on the results of the auction on Thursday, April 4, the Public Property Agency, as the sole shareholder, and the Board of Energocom agreed to reduce the corresponding price for April to 450 euros per 1 thousand cubic meters. Earlier, a member of the Administrative Council of Energocom, Alexandru Slusari, said that the price of natural gas, which Energocom bought at an auction on April 4 for supplies to its company Moldovagaz in April, was below $300 per 1 thousand cubic meters. He emphasized that gas in the volume of 30 million cubic meters will be purchased from a European company, and it is definitely not of Russian origin. // 05.04.2024 — InfoMarket
