Government plans to bar heating cut-offs for debtors who pay 50% of their bill
The government is drafting amendments to Law No. 340 that would stop cutting off compensation recipients from heating during the heating season if they pay half the bill.
What it means for you
From 2 November you can apply for the heating compensation on compensatii.gov.md or at the social assistance office. Applications are accepted until 27 November, and the first payments come in mid-December. If you have debts, Termoelectrica says debt alone cannot leave you without heat.
