Romania - Moldova’s main partner in natural gas sector
Romania is Moldova’s main partner in the natural gas sector. Through Energocom company, our country purchases gas on European exchanges via medium- and long-term contracts, ensuring stability and predictability for consumers. Minister of Energy Dorin Junghietu made the statement in an interview exclusively to MOLDPRES.
“Cooperation with Romania is strategic and extremely solid,” stated the Minister of Energy.
According to the official, the Vulcănești–Chișinău line is almost ready to be put into operation and will directly connect the Republic of Moldova to Romania’s energy system and to the ENTSO-E network, providing stability and security in crisis situations.
At the same time, the Bălți–Suceava and Strășeni–Gutinaș projects are advancing, which will increase exchange capacity and strengthen our integration into the European energy market, said Dorin Junghietu.
“The Iași–Ungheni–Chișinău gas pipeline is operating at full capacity and is the basis of our security in the gas sector,” the minister added.
Meanwhile, integration into the Vertical Gas Corridor gives our country access to alternative sources from the Caspian region, to liquefied natural gas from the Hellenic Republic and even from the United States of America.
“The fact that the Republic of Moldova was among the first states to use this corridor confirms our role as a solid regional partner and even a provider of security,” he noted.
