Moldova's authorities have approved a winter plan that includes a range of measures to ensure a smooth heating season, said State Secretary at the Ministry of Energy Constantin Borosan.
He also said that measures to mitigate any potential exceptional situations are in place and will be monitored by several inter-ministerial committees.
“All energy infrastructure must be repaired before the season starts, spare parts must be stored in sufficient quantities in case of various situations, reserve fuels and other 20 mitigation measures in case of an exceptional situation, including the use of natural gas from stocks,” Borosan said.
According to the Ministry of Energy official, Moldova has secured natural gas stocks in storage facilities in Romania and Ukraine, and these continue to be replenished.
