In May, the wholesale price of gas will be 920 dollars per thousand cubic meters, announced Moldovagaz chairman Vadim Ceban. This is a reduction from April, when the price was 1194 dollars, but an increase from January, when it was 620 dollars.

Ceban wrote on his Telegram account that for household consumers, the rate has remained unchanged.

“It is too early to talk about conditions for lowering the rate under the current circumstances”, added Vadim Ceban.

The rate paid by household consumers is 14.06 lei per cubic meter, plus 8% VAT. Until March, the government offered partial compensation for gas consumption of up to 150 cubic meters.
