The Administration Board of the National Agency for Energy Regulation (ANRE) has set the tariff for the transportation of natural gas that will be used by Vestmoldtransgaz at 20.90 lei per 1 000 m3, IPN reports.
According to the ANRE, the decision was adopted taking into consideration the fact that 2015 is the first year of work of the transport operator Vestmoldtransgaz and the company needs to cover the costs incurred by it for transporting natural gas.
At the start of this January, the ANRE issued Vestmoldtransgaz with a license for transporting natural gas through the segment of the Iasi – Ungheni gas pipeline that it manages on Moldova’s territory.
Vestmoldtransgaz was created based on a Government decision of June 2014. Its task is to ensure the maintenance of the segment of the Iasi – Ungheni gas pipeline on Moldova’s territory and of the gas metering station, to preform repair works on the pipe if necessary and to transport natural gas at regulated tariffs through this pipeline.
