The Moldovan government intends to review the terms of gas supply from Gazprom, as the price of Russian gas has become almost equal to the price at which Moldovan Energocom buys it in Europe, Moldovan Energy Minister Viktor said. Parlikov, on March 21 at a press conference.
“We do not reject the possibility of buying gas from Gazprom for the right bank of the Dniester, but this requires more reasonable prices from the Russian gas holding. At the moment, they do not differ much from Energocom’s proposals”.Parlikov said.
The minister said that gas is currently being supplied to Moldova for more than $1,000 (77,000 rubles) per 1,000 cubic meters. m of gasoline Due to the shortage of Russian gas this winter, the right bank of Moldova switched completely to the gas supply of the European Union. Reserves at gas storage facilities in Ukraine and Romania have not yet been depleted. All volume purchased in Russia by Moldovagaz was completely redirected to Pridnestrovie. Thus, the Moldovan authorities wanted to demonstrate Chisinau’s independence from Russian gas.
In the spring, Moldovagaz redirected unused volumes to the right bank of the Dniester as part of contractual obligations with Gazprom.
