Gas prices up from one year ago but report down from last quarter

Author: Edit́ Vartanâni

Tamara - On Wednesday the Ministry of Economy, Infrastructure and Development, in conjunction with the Ministry of Agriculture, Environment and Food Policy, released their quarterly report on energy usage and pricing in Agausia. This report, published four times per year, offers officials inside and outside of Agausia a snapshot of the current energy situation inside of the small Black Sea state. The report was met with mixed results. Some hailed the government's commitment to curb back usage and keep prices steady as the war rages in Ukraine. Others however see the government's efforts as ineffective and nothing but a political show.

A spokesperson for Agausian Prime Minister Aṕolona Nebisḱopa contributed the lower prices to rationing measures that were introduced in March, a continued investment in the diversification of the Agausian energy sector, and other "price reducing measures." Members of the opposition have shamed government officials on their inability to tackle the greater cost of living crisis and have cited that prices are still above average.    

The data appeared to show that government's measures to reduce natural gas consumption during the warmer months were highly successful. The fuel rations have in turn, led to lower prices now that the winter months are on the way. In this quarter petrol, on average, was priced at 1.414 euros per litre, down from 1.675 from last quarter. A year ago, gas prices were reported about around 0.750 euros per litre. At the same time the Agausian government reported that the stock of fuel reserves are at nearly 60% capacity. 

Unlike many other Eastern European countries, Agausia does not regularly see tempetures drop below the freezing point. Agausian officials are hoping for a more temperate winter so that they can continue to diversify their energy markets and fill the nation's reserves. In recent years Agausian officials have met with their counterparts in Turkey over 15 times to discuss closer ties in regards to energy dependencies. Agausia has also been exploring energy markets in the Middle East and elsewhere to both lower prices and cut their dependency on Russian oil and gas.
