Director of Moldova's Termoelectrica enterprise says there are no reasons to increase heat energy tariffs

The general director of Termoelectrica, Iurie Razlovan, today said that there were no reasons to increase the tariffs for heat energy provided to consumers. Moreover, "theoretically, there may be premises for the tariff to decrease," Razlovan opined. He emphasized that the final decision was to be made by the National Agency for Energy Regulation (ANRE).

"For the moment, considering the figures announced by Energocom, there are no reasons to increase the tariff in the near future," Iurie Razlovan noted.

The head of Termoelectrica was also asked about the possibility of the heat tariff decreasing.

"If heating becomes cheaper, it remains to be seen. (...) Theoretically, there may be premises for the tariff to decrease. I cannot say this with certainty right now, because it's not our job; ANRE colleagues need to do the calculations. But if the gas price has decreased, the heat energy tariff might decrease too," Razlovan said.

Discussions on the possibility of adjusting heat energy tariffs are taking place, given that Energocom in mid-September said that the forecast average purchase price of natural gas for the 2025–2026 gas year was 38.5 euros/MWh or about 410 euros per 1,000 cubic meters.

The figures were made public after the company acquired approximately 90.9 per cent of the forecast natural gas consumption volume for the period as of October 1, 2025, till September 30, 2026, which amounts to 7,448,218 MWh, equivalent to about 700 million m³.

The last adjustment of the heat energy tariff paid by the Moldovan capital's residents was made by ANRE in the beginning of this year, when the heat energy supplied by Termoelectrica became more expensive. Presently, the Chisinau residents pay 2,510 lei per one gigacalorie (excluding the value added tax).
