Metered heating bills: Energy Ministry proposes 27 changes, comments open until 16 October
The draft changes how meter-based heating bills are calculated, how consumption differences are shared and how wrong bills are corrected.
Moldova’s Ministry of Energy has put up for consultation a draft with 27 amendments to the Regulation on the supply and payment of public and private services. The aim is to make meter-based heating bills more accurate and to allow wrong bills to be recalculated.
The draft sets clearer rules for calculating payments from meter readings, requires documentary proof that measuring equipment has been verified, provides for a fair distribution of consumption differences and allows erroneous bills to be recalculated according to each party’s responsibility. Rules for basement premises are also clarified. The document reflects remarks from heat suppliers and ANRE on calculation practices that do not meet the requirements.
Comments are accepted until 16 October. The draft will then undergo anti-corruption and legal review before going to the government for approval.
What it means for you
- Homeowners’ associations, building managers and businesses with premises in apartment blocks can submit comments until 16 October.
- Check that your meters have valid verification documents — they will matter for billing.
- If you have received wrong bills, the new rules should make recalculation easier.
