Tiraspoltransgas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tiraspoltransgas (Russian: Тираспольтрансгаз, sometimes transcribed as Tiraspoltransgaz) is the leading gas supplier in Transnistria, with headquarters in Tiraspol. It was established in 1993.
The majority shares of Tiraspoltransgas is probably controlled by Russia's Gazprom, although Gazprom has not confirmed the ownership officially.
Tiraspoltransgas handles an annual traffic of 23 to 24 billion cubic meters of Russian gas via Transnistria. This is sent to both Moldova and further west, to other countries in Europe. In addition, Transnistria itself consumes 1.2 to 1.3 billion cubic meters a year.
