Heat supplier Termoelectrica will be switched over to fuel oil. Prime Minister Natalia Gavrilița told a news conference today that all over the world, the companies that can do it make such a move as fuel oil under the current market conditions is cheaper.

“Depending on the negotiated contracts and on the price of gas, we will take the necessary decisions as to the use of fuel oil or natural gas,” stated Natalia Gavrilița, being quoted by IPN.

The Commission on Emergencies decided to allocate fuel oil from the humanitarian aid received by Moldova from Romania. “This way, we will reduce costs for Termoelectrica,” stated the official.

She also said that besides the fuel oil provided by Romania as humanitarian aid, fuel oil will continue to be released from Moldova’s state reserves and will also be bought from the market.
