In Transnistria, gas supply to private households has been fully restored, according to the republic’s president, Vadim Krasnoselsky. The update confirms that domestic gas service is back to normal across most towns and villages, and relief has reached households that had faced interruptions during the ongoing energy adjustments. Officials in Tiraspol and in the capital have emphasized that the restoration marks a critical step in stabilizing daily life after weeks of uncertainty, with hot water and heating returning to pre-crisis levels in many neighborhoods. The information comes amid broader regional discussions about energy security and international aid.
Gas supply to private households has successfully been completed, and work to connect other facilities continues, including schools, clinics, and small businesses that rely on steady energy.
At the end of January, Chisinau and Tiraspol agreed on a February gas-supply plan funded by an EU grant. The plan outlines how the remaining deliveries will be distributed to households, schools, and medical facilities, ensuring a measured restart across the region while avoiding new bottlenecks.
Moldova’s prime minister, Dorin Recean, stated that Transnistria is meeting the European Union’s conditions to receive financial aid after February 10, intended to ease energy pressures and support the recovery of the sector.
The regional situation grew tense when, on January 1, Ukraine halted the transit of Russian gas to Europe. That move created a gas shortage in Transnistria and forced many businesses to pause operations, affecting suppliers and workers alike.
Earlier this week, authorities indicated a staged restart with gas supply under a prolonged regime expected to extend through March, allowing time to stabilize deliveries and test each link in the supply chain.
From a North American perspective, the measures in Transnistria illustrate how external funding and cross-border cooperation can help stabilize regional energy markets. The EU grant is designed to keep essential services running while infrastructure is repaired.
Officials emphasize that the plan prioritizes households and critical facilities, with a focus on price stability and uninterrupted heating during the cold season.
Looking ahead, observers say the next weeks will reveal how quickly deliveries normalize as the February plan unfolds and EU support remains in place.
