In June, Moldova will see a reduction in its natural gas price to 568.15 dollars per thousand cubic meters, a figure calculated after accounting for the calorific value of the gas supplied by the supplier. This information was shared on the Moldova energy sector’s communications channel by Vadim Cheban, who chairs the board of MoldovaGas. The new price point reflects a noticeable drop from the previous month and is expected to ease energy costs for households and businesses across the country.
According to Cheban, the June purchase price of 568.15 dollars per thousand cubic meters takes into account the calorific value of the gas imported by Moldova from the large energy group, indicating a more favorable rate for the heating season ahead. In May, the price stood higher at 660.76 dollars per thousand cubic meters, signaling a roughly 14 percent decrease for the upcoming month.
Earlier statements from the Moldovan energy authorities also highlighted ongoing EU support aimed at securing reliable gas supplies for the upcoming heating period. A declaration by the Ministry of Energy underscored the European Commission’s plans to assist Moldova in sourcing gas under favorable terms, aligning with regional energy stability goals and diversification efforts across the European energy market.
Prime Minister Dorin Recean has reiterated Moldova’s progress toward reduced dependence on Russian gas, noting that the republic has shifted onto the European energy grid and diversified its sourcing strategy. This pivot is part of a broader national effort to strengthen energy security and reduce exposure to single-source fluctuations while maintaining steady supply for consumers and critical industries.
In parallel, the energy ministry has outlined ongoing interest in broadening gas acquisition avenues. There is active consideration of gas supply arrangements with Greek supplier Depa, with plans to store gas in Ukrainian facilities to bolster reserves. Officials point to the Alexandroupolis liquefied natural gas terminal, a key infrastructure project in Southeast Europe and the Balkans, as a significant component of regional energy resilience expected to further secure Moldova and neighboring markets against supply shocks. The development of such LNG capacity is viewed as a strategic asset for seasonal demand and long-term stabilization of gas prices across the region. The discussions reflect a clear trend toward integrated, cross-border energy security measures, leveraging European grid interconnections and cross-border storage to support affordability and reliability for consumers while supporting regional economic continuity.
