SA Energocom will buy 24 MWh (about 2,250 cubic meters) of natural gas, by 1 MW an hour, on a trial basis from the Greek gas operator DEPA. The gas will be delivered through the Iasi-Ungheni-Chisinau gas pipeline and transmitted to the gas operator Moldovagaz, IPN reports.<\/p>\n
The price is \u20ac45 per MWh without shipment and other logistical costs. For comparison, on March 31 Energocom purchased 1 MWh for \u20ac48.82 also on a trial basis from the Romanian Commodities Exchange.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe goal of the acquisition is to see how the logistics chain works: storage of gas in each of the transited countries \u2013 Greece, Bulgaria, Romania \u2013 nominalizations by the transmission system operators at each entrance and exist point so as to avoid eventual financial risks in case of larger amounts,\u201d the company noted in a press release.<\/p>\n
Last week, the acting director of SA Energocom Victor B\u00e2nzari signed in Athens a framework cooperation agreement with the DEPA manager, based on which more natural gas can be bought in the future.<\/p>\n
The company also purchased 1 MW of electricity for Thursday from the Bulgarian operator Nomad, at the price of \u20ac100 without shipment and other procedural costs. This way, Energocom wants to test the new route and the logistics operations. So far Moldova imported electricity from Romania and Ukraine.<\/p>\n
