Azerbaijan and Moldova in talks on gas supply

Moldova is in talks with Azerbaijan on gas supplies, Moldova’s President Maia Sandu said.

“It is not difficult to find alternative gas sources, but to find gas at a reasonable price. The government is holding talks with Romania and Azerbaijan. Technically, gas reach all regions of Moldova. But again, it all depends on price,” Sandu told TV8.

Moldova's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Infrastructure and Regional Development Andrei Spinu earlier said that his country consumes around 3 billion cubic meters of gas per year. “We would like to sign a contract to get gas in a range between 1 and 3 billion cubic meters per year," Spinu noted. The deputy prime minister noted that Moldova has reserves of 35 million cubic meters of gas, in winter this volume will last for a maximum of ten days.
