Moldovan National Energy Regulatory Agency approves lower tariffs for gas for consumers

Chisinau, 21 February /MOLDPRES/ - The citizens will pay less for gas. The National Energy Regulatory Agency (ANRE) today approved the decrease in the tariff for gas. Thus, the household consumers will pay a tariff of 13.39 lei (without value added tax – VAT) for one cubic metre, which is by 3.3 lei less than at present.   

Under the decision, ‘’ANRE found out the existence of objective factors conditioning the revision of the price, with the cutting of the average annual cost for purchasing gas being priority.’’   

ANRE’s decision enters into force on the date of its publication in Moldova’s Official Journal (Monitorul Oficial).
