Consumers served by the municipal enterprise "Comrat Thermal Networks and Power Plants" will pay 2,882 lei/Gcal for thermal energy, excluding VAT. The new charge approved by the National Agency for Energy Regulation is by 427 lei/Gcal lower than the previous charge, IPN reports.

Among the main factors that led to the adjustment of charges are the decrease in the costs planned for the purchase of natural gas in 2024 and the updating of forecasts for the main macroeconomic indicators.

The charge enters into force on the day of publication of the decision in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Moldova.
