Prior to this, consumers on the right bank of the Dniester received gas purchased from Energocom JSC. Cheban stressed that the price of supplies from Gazprom and Energocom is almost identical.
Gazprom daily supplies Moldova with 5.7 million cubic meters. m of gas. It was redirected to consumers in Transnistria and used there to generate electricity. Due to the March warming, natural gas consumption in Pridnestrovie has significantly decreased, so part of the gas will be used by the right bank, Cheban explained.
Moldova agreed with Pridnestrovie to redirect gas to the republic in exchange for electricity supplies in December 2022. Chisinau began to use gas from reserves and buy it in Europe.
