Former President Dodon: the new gas tariff for Moldova will be the highest in 30 years Dodon said that the new gas tariff for the country was the highest in the last 30 years. He stated this on the air of the TV channel NTV Moldova, RIA Novosti reports.
According to him, such prices will be a disaster for the country's economy and population. The ex-head of state stressed that in the current situation, without any compensation, residents of Moldova will not be able to pay such a tariff. In the near future, heating prices and electricity prices will rise, Dodon added.

Earlier, the head of Moldovagaz, Vadim Cheban, said that thanks to the contract with Gazprom, Moldova will save about $ 405 million over the next 14 months. “Moldova has achieved the most favorable terms of the contract with Gazprom, which are possible in the current situation,” Cheban said. Moldovagaz made preliminary calculations, as a result of which it determined the amount saved. The energy company expects the purchase price of gas to be about $ 430 per thousand cubic meters. “These forecasts formed the basis of the tariff, which was previously approved by the National Energy Regulatory Agency,” Cheban said.
Moldova faced an energy crisis due to a contract with Gazprom that ended in October. The republic wanted to conclude a new agreement on favorable terms, but the supplier demanded that the debt be paid first. On October 29, the country still managed to agree with Gazprom to conclude a contract for five years, subject to an audit of debts in 2022. Gazprom called the terms of the agreement mutually beneficial.
