Moldovan Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Spinu said the country will resume purchasing electricity from Moldavskaya GRES, owned by Russian company Inter RAO, in December. He told this to reporters TASS.
“204,000 MW will be supplied in December. Together with bilateral contracts signed with Romanian suppliers, this amount will be enough to meet the needs of consumers on the right bank of the Dniester.”
For the first time, Moldovan State Power Company Energocom produced 4.3 million cubic meters of test purchase from Trans-Balkan natural gas pipeline m.
Previously, this pipeline was used to supply Russian gas to the Balkans. The Trans-Balkan gas pipeline passes through Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey.
At the end of November, the press service of the Russian state company Gazprom announced the possibility of a decrease in gas supplies to Moldova due to the so-called “fuel settlement” on the territory of Ukraine.
At the beginning of last month, Moldovan Minister of Infrastructure and Regional Development Andrei Spinu said that in October 2022 the republic managed to reduce gas consumption from Russia by 57% compared to the same period in 2021.
