Moldova Offers Gas Procurement Aid to Unrecognized Pridnestrovie
In a bid to alleviate the energy crisis, Moldova has extended a helping hand to the unrecognized Pridnestrovie (Transnistria). Vladimir Cheban, Moldova’s Deputy Prime Minister, revealed that Moldova’s state-owned gas company, "MoldovaGas," has made an official proposal to assist "Tirasproltransgaz," the gas supplier in Pridnestrovie.
Cheban disclosed that "MoldovaGas," in collaboration with "Energocom" JSC, is ready to provide both technical and commercial support to facilitate the purchase of natural gas on European platforms. This move, Cheban affirmed, is aimed at ensuring a steady supply of energy resources to residents on the left bank of the Dniester River amid the current crisis.
If the proposal is accepted, gas will be supplied to the Moldovan border via all available alternative routes, based on an agency agreement between the two entities.
This unprecedented gesture from Moldova comes amid escalating energy woes across Europe, driven primarily by reduced gas supplies from Russia. By offering its support, Moldova seeks to foster regional cooperation and mitigate the impact of the crisis on its neighbor.
