In the case of persons who sent the gas meter readings, the volumes consumed in February will be evenly distributed for each day of the month to determine the daily average. Subsequently, the consumption for February 1-22 will be calculated at the previous charge, while for February 23-29 \u2013 at the reduced charge. Moldovagaz provided details in this regard given that the new gas charges entered into force on February 23, IPN reports.<\/p>\n
Thus, for example, if the total consumption of a household on February 29 totaled 145 cubic meters, the average daily consumption will be 5 cubic meters. For February 1-22, the household will be billed for a volume of 110 cubic meters of gas at the previously charge, while for February 23-29 the remaining 35 cubic meters will be billed at the new regulated charges approved by the National Agency for Energy Regulation. The supplier assures that all the calculations will be reflected in detail in the bills sent to consumers.<\/p>\n
When inspectors don\u2019t have access to meters or the readings weren\u2019t\u2019 sent by consumers through online platforms and other available tools, the gas distribution companies of Moldovagaz group will apply the analytical distribution (forecast), based on the de facto consumption of natural gas in the period (month), comparable to the previous years, with subsequent adjustment.<\/p>\n
If consumers have questions about the billing of natural gas consumption in February, they can dial the single phone number 1304 (1305 in the capital city) or send a petition through the \u201cConsumer\u2019s Personal Cabinet\u201d service on the moldovagaz.md.<\/p>\n
As of February 23, residential consumers pay a charge of 13.39 lei (excluding VAT) for one cubic meter of gas, compared to 18 lei earlier.<\/p>\n
