In an effort to enhance Moldova’s energy security, the Government on Wednesday will introduce draft amendments requiring at least two suppliers for procurement of electricity, announced Prime Minister Natalia Gavrilița.

Gavrilița told a press conference that the amounts bought from each supplier will depend on the prices. “There will be a call of bids where the supplier with the lowest price will take over a certain amount and the bidder with the second lowest price will take over a much smaller amount, depending on the price difference”.

Earlier, Infrastructure Minister Andrei Spînu said the government will invite bids in February given that the current supply contract with the Kuchurgan Power Plant is due to expire on March 1.
