The head of Moldovagaz, Vadim Ceban, does not rule out a possible adjustment of the natural gas tariff
In the coming weeks, the gas tariff could be reduced. The statement was made by the president of the Board of Directors of Moldovagaz, Vadim Ceban, in a show on N4. He said that in the next period the calculations will be sent to the National Energy Regulatory Agency (ANRE).
"I think that in a week, before Easter, we will present our calculations to ANRE and, together with the regulator, if these conditions are met, we will be the first to request the correction of the tariff. Because already a good part of the financial deviations, which were included in the tariff in October 2022, were recovered in the winter period with higher consumption. I believe that these premises will be, it depends on ANRE when this will be", said Vadim Ceban.
Also, the director of Moldovagaz refused to say how much the tariff could be reduced.
*"I can't tell you details, but at the right time we will come out with these figures. I can only say one thing: during the approval of the tariffs, in October 2022, about 6.5 lei were those financial deviations that were accumulated in 2022. As a figure that I can say at the moment", said Ceban, noting that it is premature to make calculations.
The head of Moldovagaz said that in March, 176 million cubic meters were purchased from Gazprom, at a price of 1050 dollars per thousand cubic meters. This amount was directed to the production of electricity on the left bank. At the same time, Energocom procured about 100 million cubic meters of gas for the right bank, at the price of 1011 US dollars per thousand cubic meters.
