The Emergencies Commission assembled to discuss the situation in the energy sector and the measures needed to eliminate the risks of gas supply disruptions.

“The members of the Commission discussed the possibility of allocating additional compensations for household consumers. The size of compensations will be adjusted as a result of the revision of the consumer tariff requested by Moldovagaz. The National Agency for Energy Regulation is to analyze and approve, until January 31, the new tariff, after a thorough verification of the calculations presented by Moldovagaz”, the Government said in a press release.

The Commission has also instructed cogeneration plants to adjust heat supplies to average atmospheric temperatures. It is estimated that such rationing could reduce gas consumption by as much as 5 million cubic meters.

Earlier, Prime Minister Natalia Gavrilița announced that the tariff for a consumption of up to 150 m3 per month for household consumers will remain unchanged, and the Government will always intervene to help citizens.
