Moldova Resumes Electricity Deliveries From Transnistria, Says Deputy Prime Minister
CHISINAU (Sputnik) - Moldova has resumed purchasing electricity from breakaway Transnistria at a price of $73 per megawatt-hour (MWh), Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Spinu said on Saturday.
"State-owned company Energocom has signed a deal with the Cuciurgan power station for December with the possibility of extending the contract for January-March 2023 at a price of $73," Spinu said on Telegram.
The deputy prime minister said that total December deliveries will amount to 204,000 MW. Furthermore, Moldova's national gas company, Moldovagaz, will supply Transnistria with 5.7 million cubic meters of gas per day.
"This contract is a reasonable compromise to provide citizens on both banks of the Dniester with electricity and gas," Spinu said.
