Starting with April 1, the electric power rates will be higher. The National Agency for Energy Regulation accepted Premier Energy’s request to increase the rate from 1.51 lei to 2.17 lei/kWh, IPN reports.
For the consumers from northern Moldova, the rate was raised from 2.04 to 2.51 lei/kWh.
The requests to increase the electricity rates were submitted much earlier, but the Commission for Exceptional Situations on February 25 suspended the procedure for reviewing the tariffs for a month.
The last time the electricity rates were adjusted at the end of last January. They were decreased for consumers by 10.1% to 1.51 lei/kWh.
