The energy companies of Moldova – Moldovagaz and Energocom are ready to assist Tiraspoltransgaz in organizing gas purchases on any European platform on market terms. Interruption of the supply of Russian gas to Transnistria, of the separatist region of Moldova, led to the shutdown of all industrial enterprises, except for those engaged in the production of food products. The authorities of Transnistria, a separatist region of Moldova, agreed to receive gas from Moldova in order to get out of the energy crisis faster. Gas reserves in Transnistria will last for several days, and coal for electricity generation at the Moldavian GRES will last until February 16-17 at the most.
