The Moldovan authorities are having discussions with representatives of the Kuchurgan Power Plant situated in Dnestrovsc, on the extension of the current power purchase contract, and also with other suppliers. In a news conference, Prime Minister Natalia Gavrilița said that owing to the war in Ukraine, it was decided to have additional discussions.

The official noted the Government continues to discuss with Ukrainian suppliers and accelerates the processes that haven’t been performed over the last 30 years to ensure the security of electricity supplies in the country.

The current contract with the Kuchurgan Power Plant expires on May 1.

As to the audit at Moldovagaz, Natalia Gavrilița said the procurement of audit services failed and the Government will now have negotiations with a number of audit companies so as to try and reach an agreement with one of them. Due to the Russian-Ukrainian war, the international companies avoid becoming involved.
