Transnistria Set for Mandatory Natural Gas Stocks

The Transnistrian region in Moldova is set to have mandatory natural gas stocks after a project was voted on in its second reading by Parliament.

The entity responsible for supplying natural gas to the area will be required to gradually create and maintain stocks that cover at least 15% of average annual consumption, based on data from the last five years.

The goal is to reduce the impact of possible exceptional situations in the natural gas sector on the national economy and ensure security of supply for end consumers.
