Chisinau's monopoly heating company, SA Termocom, announces it pulls up from the Memorandum. In a press release issued Thursday, its management maintains it “withdraws the signature from the Memorandum and considers it void and unwelcome,” Info-Prim Neo reports. The heating company reasons its decision that “a month after the signing, the representatives of the Chisinau local administration have honored none of the provision in the Memorandum.” “Consequently, the heat supplier cannot fulfill its commitments, since they strictly depend on the actions first to be taken by the municipal officials. In addition, in this state of things, when the debts for energy resources and fuel hike day by day, the crisis is worsening,” reads the communique. “The responsibility for the consequences rests solely with the local public administration,” the Termocom administration states. The company says it tendered its decision to the Council's chairman Eduard Musuc, to general mayor Dorin Chirtoaca, to Moldova-Gaz's president Alexandru Gusev, and to Economy and Trade Ministry. The Memo signed on November 11 by Termocom, Moldovagaz and the CMC provided that the municipality would raise the heat tariff from 540 lei to 740 lei/Gcal and would pay its arrears of 147 million lei to Termocom until the year-end. Since the conditions have not been observed, Moldovagaz is entitled to reduce or even halt the gas deliveries to CET 1, CET 2 power plants and Termocom. Up to now, the CMC has not raised the charge, neither has it paid off the debt to Termocom.
