(MENAFN) Moldova’s natural gas company has stated it will buy 5.7 million cubic meters of natural gas from Russia’s Gazprom for the month of December, amid widespread blackouts in the nation as Russian raids were seen in Ukraine.
“Starting tomorrow, JSC Moldovagaz will purchase natural gas from two sources. 5.7 million cubic meters will be supplied by PJSC Gazprom under the current contract and according to the approved volumes for December,” Moldovagaz CEO Vadim Ceban shared on his Telegram account late Saturday.
Ceban also said that the natural gas purchased by the business will be directed to local energy firm Tiraspoltransgaz “for the production of electricity for the needs of consumers on both banks of the Dniester.”
He added that the firm will buy 3.5 million cubic meters of natural gas from local energy provider Energocom for customers on the right bank of the Dniester River.
“The total daily consumption of the Republic of Moldova in December will be, according to preliminary calculations, 9.2 million cubic meters of natural gas,” Ceban continued.
