Rising natural gas prices could affect electricity rates for end users in Moldova; however, the regulator has not yet specified the potential extent of any rate adjustment. The National Agency for Energy Regulation (ANRE) notes that the impact will depend on requests from producers, the structure of purchases, and the situation on foreign markets, where the country meets a significant portion of its needs.
Energocom's management has waived a portion of salary payments, which account for a significant portion of the company's employees' compensation, and has also postponed a number of investments in information systems planned for this year, which will result in total savings of approximately 17.5 million lei by the end of 2026.
