A number of filling stations on June 14 posted higher fuel prices after the National Agency for Energy Regulation raised the retail price ceiling. Thus, one liter of gasoline and liquefied petroleum gas costs by 0.10 lei more on average, while of diesel fuel – by 0.5 lei more.

For the next two weeks, the Agency set the price ceiling at 16.25 lei per liter of gasoline coded 95, up from 16.21 lei during the past two week, at 14.35 lei per liter of diesel fuel, an increase of 0.52 lei, and at 7.29 lei per liter of liquefied petroleum gas, up from 7.20 lei.

The Agency’s press officer Anatol Barbei has told IPN that the price ceiling for diesel fuel was raised so much following the increase in the Platt’s quotations on the international market. The Agency will monitor the prices at service stations so as to make sure that they are within limits.

The Agency calls on the consumers to report cases when the gas stations post higher prices than the price ceiling on the green line +373 800 10 800 or by the email address anre@anre.md.

The retail price ceilings of gasoline, diesel fuel and liquefied petroleum gas are set according to the new methodology of the National Agency for Energy Regulation, once in 14 calendar days.
