Heating price to go up in a week

Local counsellors have delayed the vote for the increase of tarriff for thermal energy from 131, 7 lei/Gcal, to 159,3 lei/Gcal. The talks centred on the financial resources of the population and the exaggerated price of gases, given that our city lays on a gas resource. The price of gas was brought up in a meeting at Distrigaz Nord last week, with participation of Energomur and two city counsellors.

Big changes are not foreseen until this Thursday. On Friday,

Energomur representatives are their Distrigaz fellows to talk about the 80 billion debt of the county thermofication agent..

Energomur receives money to unblock accounts.

Tîrgu Mureş City Council voted for allotment of 14 billion lei needed to pay the first installment by Energomur to AVAS in order to have their accounts unblocked. Council representatives appreciated the Energomur situation to be delicate and consider it a priority before "the purchase of hardware and software systems connected by phone robots to the database" that would cost 1.5 billion lei. The budget will be discussed this Thursday..

Underground passage

Matrix representatives (the company responsible for building the underground passage downtown) presented the situation of their work progress in front of the City Council. Part B has been finished. The investment amounts to 9 million euros and so far Matrix has invested about 10 billion lei, which stands for 285 000 euros. To obtain the rest of the financing, Matrix is negotiating with a few European banks. The construction will include a shopping centre of 12000 square metres and a parking of 2400 square metres for 80 vehicles. March 2007 is the estimated deadline for the project to be finalised, right in time for the EU accession.
