“CET-Nord’s intention to almost double the heating tariff threatens to deal a severe blow to the household budgets of most residents of Bălți. We are already analysing the situation and working on additional support measures for those who will find it particularly difficult to pay for heating,” wrote Alexandr Petkov.
The mayor suggests that particular attention be paid to nurseries and schools. According to him, funds must be set aside for their heating to ensure normal conditions for children during the cold season.
“People should not be left to face this problem on their own. I am also counting on the support of municipal councillors. Protecting the people of Bălți is our shared responsibility. When it comes to people’s well-being and keeping their homes warm, political differences must be set aside,” noted Petkov.
It was previously reported that on 22 September, CET-Nord – the main supplier of heating to Bălți – applied to the National Energy Regulatory Agency (NARE) requesting a review of the heating tariff for consumers and setting it at 4,314 lei per gigacalorie, excluding VAT. The current tariff is 2,201 lei per Gcal excluding VAT. The requested increase therefore amounts to 2,113 lei, or around 96 per cent.
