For the old-fashioned Christmas Day, total electricity consumption on the right bank of the Dniester will be 17% lower than on Monday. According to Energocom, less imported electricity will be needed, IPN reports.
The company gives assurances that it has reserved the necessary capacities at the border with Romania in order to purchase contracted energy or energy from the exchange.
"Respectively, for January 7, the electricity consumption will be covered by the Chisinau and Balti district heating power plants, local renewable energy facilities and imported energy," an Energocom press release says.
As of January 1, the right bank of the Dniester is no longer receiving energy from the Cuciurgan power plant. This after the Transnistrian region stopped receiving natural gas from Gazprom.
