Moldova - Cheban: The formula for calculating the gas supply price was proposed by Moldovagaz

Moldova (bbabo.net), - Chairman of the Board of Directors of JSC Moldovagaz Vadim Cheban claims that the formula for calculating the purchase price of gas was proposed by Moldovagaz, although Gazprom proposed a different formula. The official spoke in detail about the formula for calculating the purchase price for gas on the air of a program on TV8.

“The calculation formula was proposed by Moldovagaz and established jointly with Gazprom, despite the fact that Gazprom proposed a different one. Moldovagaz insisted on such a calculation formula, so that in winter the price is indexed to the cost of oil products, and in summer - to stock quotes. Gazprom had a very clear and sharp position, because all contracts have already been indexed on the stock exchanges. The formula was convenient, and according to our forecast for that period, the price was $450,” Cheban said.

However, according to Vadim Ceban, the gas tariff will be increased, and its price may range from 12 to 14.6 lei.

He also stated that Moldovagaz currently owes $10 million to Energocom, while the cash deficit is $18 million.
