From May 1, Energocom will try to participate in as many tenders as possible and sell gas not only to Moldovagaz.
This was announced by the acting director of Energocom, Victor Bînzari, commenting on the request of the Chairman of the Board of Moldovagaz, Vadim Ceban, that Energocom sell it on the wholesale market the entire volume of gas purchased for May or offer these volumes through the exchange trading mechanism to all retail suppliers. Victor Bînzari said that since May Energocom no longer has any obligations to Moldovagaz and will sell gas not only to this company. He noted that in recent years the energy market in Moldova has changed radically, and an open exchange has appeared in the country, which can offer a very interesting opportunity for sellers to meet buyers. In particular, the Romanian Commodity Exchange in Moldova will hold the first auction on April 11, at which the CET Nord company intends to purchase certain volumes of gas for the period from May to September. Many companies will take part in this auction. “We encourage as many consumers and licensed suppliers as possible to participate in such exchange trading, so that we have competition and better prices,” said Victor Bînzari. He pointed out that since May Energocom no longer has any obligations to Moldovagaz, so he took part in the auction announced by the Chisinau Glass Factory. Moreover, from May Energocom will be able to sell gas on the market. “Of course, we will try to participate in as many tenders as possible and hope to become winners in other tenders. We understand that we will have interesting competition in the market, based on the prices that Gazprom could offer, but it is natural to be able to sell gas to someone, not only to Moldovagaz, and, of course, to those consumers who have there is such an opportunity,” said the head of Energocom. He said that by May 1 the company will complete all previously purchased gas volumes, and from May 1 Energocom will carry out new gas purchases. // 09.04.2024 – InfoMarket
