The liquefied gas is once again available for drivers at all PECO Metan-Auto stations in the Transnistrian region. The information about the resumption of sales was confirmed to the editorial office by phone at one of the company’s sales points, reports IPN.
Liquefied gas is available, and the refueling of cars is taking place as usual. For now, it’s about resuming the supply of liquefied gas only until the end of June. During the day on Friday, queues formed again at some stations.
Starting from the night of June 6th, the sale of liquefied gas has been stopped at Metan-Auto gas stations. Refueling with this type of fuel was only allowed for emergency and paramilitary services. All gas stations had announcements stating “until a special order”, but there were no official explanations from the authorities.
The only comment was made only in the afternoon of June 6th. Then, the leader from Tiraspol, Vadim Krasnoselski, stated that “we need to conserve resources to avoid falling back into a deep energy crisis”.
The reason for the restrictions was the transition to settlements with a new payer – already the third company in number, registered in Dubai. This was announced by former deputy Alexandr Slusari. The Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Moldova stated that it does not control the distribution of gas in the Transnistrian region. Chisinau only authorizes the general supply scheme, excluding the participation of sanctioned or suspect structures. At the same time, the Ministry specified that it does not know the reasons for the cessation of gas sales at gas stations, but expressed its willingness to discuss possible forms of support for residents, at the request of Tiraspol.
As of today, the company Tirasteploenergo has resumed the supply of hot water in the region. Those responsible for managing the housing and communal fund have warned about possible leaks during the resumption process and recommended that the population temporarily disconnect their boilers and heating systems.
The hot water was turned off on June 6th. Formally, this was explained by the need to prepare for the heating season, but residents pointed out that the shutdown schedules were missing. Previously, the hot water supply was only resumed in March, several weeks after the crisis of the past winter.
