ANRE approves 28.8% increase in household gas tariff from October 1
ANRE proposes raising the household gas price from 20.30 to 26.14 lei per m³. Decision due on September 28.
Households in Moldova pay 26.14 lei per cubic metre of natural gas from 1 October 2026, including VAT, up from 20.30 lei. ANRE approved the new regulated price at its 28 September meeting: an increase of 5.84 lei per m³, or 28.8%. Energocom had requested 26.25 lei per m³.
ANRE says the cost of gas procurement for the fourth quarter rose to 17,050 lei per 1,000 m³, from 12,150 lei included in the previous regulated prices. The regulated price at low-pressure distribution network exits is 24,202 lei per 1,000 m³ excluding VAT; the household bill includes VAT.
What it means for you
- At 100 m³ a month, the bill increases by about 584 lei.
- If you rent out a home with utilities included, check whether the budget covers the new tariff.
- Recalculate expenses using actual consumption and the tariff that applies to your home.
