Chisinau, February 28 /MOLDPRES/- The tariff for thermal energy delivered by Termoelectrica will increase by 723 lei for one gigacalorie. The decision was taken today by the National Agency for Energy Regulation (ANRE). Thus, if until now consumers in the capital paid 2,854 lei for one gigacalorie, after the tariff change, the price will be 3,577 lei (178 euros), increasing by 25 percent.

At the same time, the tariff for electricity produced by Termoelectrica was reduced by 0.61 lei or 14 percent.

The tariff was increased following ANRE's examination of a request issued by Termoelectrica. The company argued that the adjustments are necessary "in order to ensure the sustainability and reliable activity of the company in the face of substantial changes in the prices of primary energy resources."

The last time, the tariff for thermal energy delivered to consumers in the capital was increased in October 2022.
